Melbourne and Metropolitan Tramways Authority Bill debated
In parliament on Wednesday Sir Alexander Peacock moved the second reading of a bill to place all tramway systems under a single authority of twelve active members plus two gubernatorial appointees. The chair would earn £120 yearly. the chair’s salary would be set by the Governor in Council. Elections would use municipal rolls and preferential voting. The bill envisages taking over the cable tramway first, then other systems within six months, with transfers possible for electric routes between St Kilda and Brighton and others. The authority would reimburse railway losses, with deficits covered by municipalities if needed.
