From J & A. Anderson, Farmers, Waiewra South.

I have yours re the Management of the State Railways, and in answer I have no hesitation in stating that I believe the Railways would be better managed as at present by a non-political board. If the management were to revert back to the Ministry of the day great pressure would soon be exercised to have freights reduced and useless trains run to suit the convenience of supporters. Many candidates for political honours would also more readily give voice to and educate the public to the belief that wholesale reductions would be desirable, and if such were given effect to it would in a great measure hamper the efficient working of the railway system.
