From far away Aus- tralia comes the statement that many country storekeepers there are comn-! sidering the advisability of employ-! ing motor lorries te take their! goods from Sydney, the centre of! supply. An experimental load of. sugar was recently taken from Syd-| ney to Parkes, a distance of rough-! Iy 200 miles, and the cost of haul age is said to have amounted to £:0 as against £24 by rail, notwith-| standing the fact that the trip ec-| cupied nearly a week, instead of the estimated three adys, owing to very heary rain.
