Standard gauge line plan gains government support in Victoria
Sir Arthur stated the standard gauge line would finish in five years at an estimated cost of £10,000,000. The survey to assess bridges and embankments would determine widening needs, with the government backing the survey though final plans were not approved. The plan aims to save about £800,000 annually by removing the Albury changeover, with Premier Bolte urging completion of the survey before year end.
