The important Report of the London Traffic Advisory Committee has

been published. The Government, following the practice which they have recently formed, are circulating the Report to all the traffic authorities. It is understood that if the scheme of the Advisory Committee receives enough support the Government will introduce the necessary legislation. The scheme in brief provides for a common fund and the common management of the passenger transport undertakings of Greater London. The main line railways would not be touched, but the Underground, Tube and other local railways, the tramways and the omnibus companies would all come into the pool. Ownership would remain with the present proprietors, except that there would no doubt have to be an absorption of some of the small omnibus proprietors.
