In answer to your circular of the 15th ult. re Management of the State Railways, I am of opinion that they should be managed free from political control, as at present. I do not say that the present system is perfect. I think there is room for great improvement in the working of the present system, but I would forgo this rather than revert to the old provincial dodge.
