Abstract:
The object of this Paper is to direct attention to certain
important economic facts affecting our transport system, and
provide where possible a statistical measurement of those facts.
The treatment is neither comprehensive nor exhaustive, but a
certain general conclusion may be stated. We must cut not
only the dead wood, but the superfluous growth out of our
luxuriant transport system, and prune it down to the measure
of our economic requirements. It is for expert knowledge and
practical statesmanship to elaborate the details of a satisfactory
transport policy.
