Eight thousand miles consisting of, the main stem conneet Ing Port Augusta with the west, and the lines "about "Sydney use the 4 fee 8 le4,-inc1e standard while the 7,000 miles in the southeast part or the continent around Victoria have tracks 5 feet 3 inches apart. The narrower gauges are unimportant. It is everywhere agreed that there should be only one standard gauge as there is on. the North American continent and in Europe. What it is impossible to agree Upon appears to be the standard ao be adopted. NaL- uSally wishes the other to conform to its standard. A roya.la 'commission estimate that the cost of •standardizing the gauge would . be 221„000,000. It diflicult to prove 'that 'Mir own standard, 4 -feet 8 inch0,1S better than any, other stand-, ard, eiadept - extremely" -..• rsarro-v;,- gatige er an extremely wide one, There:have 1-16:en railways that oper- ated on tricks 3' l'eet apart without complaint. Our own standard was not adop d because it was judg, to be better than others, but ,because 14 ,happened to be More convenient. The Australian Royal CoMm'ission recom- mended the adolitiOn saf the Amer- icanand European standard; but this prbposal in.et with a sterni of protest • because there was a fair 'greater mile- " -age coVered by other 1' Our' standard, was ad.oPted,' rather curiouSly, as. recalled by'. Richard lloadley Tingley, writing the New ,a.Y.o.altalritune. :We took it:from the coal mines m rvor nuberla•nd. POT "generations the miners had—dire-e'-- hauling coal out of these Mines, in horse -draw -n, wagons= ...Then" it 'Occur- , fed to some unknown -genius to put rough 'fianges on the -wheels and, lay down wooden rails to keep'them out of the wet:and mud. The,diStance-be- ,tWeen the wheels of these. •wagcnis happened to be 4 feet 81/2 inches, ;and some of the earlier lines in Eng- land adopted this standard and so did; some of the earlier lines in the United States for the sake of 'con:- forinity. NeVertheless, there was no la* to regulate the ,distanc,e between tracks and railroad 'builders could • choose •whatever• distance they thought appropriate. The Great West- ern Rail*ay, for instance, -had a gauge of 7- feet, but ,the 'Liverpool and Manchester adopted the' North- umberland standard. 'Before there was a single standa.rd for England, num- erous royal ,comraissions examined the matter and much. the same argu- ments as those now agitating Aus- tralia :-were Presented 'before the 4 feet -Inch gauge swas adopted.
