He was not, as a Railway Manager, so blind to the changes that had taken place within the transport industry as not to recognise at once that the road vehicle had come into the industry and was capable of serving a useful purpose, and that it was here to stay.

He did not propose to pursue that further at the moment because he had dealt with it in his last Annual Report.
