More about the Kearney High Speed Railway
Under the title of "Rapid Transit In the Future" a very interesting book is published by the Kearney High Speed Railway Company Ltd of 100 Victoria Street Westminster in which Mr. Elfric Wells Chalmers Kearney, the inventor of the Kearney High Speed Railway which it is proposed shall with the permission of Parliament be constructed to run between the Strand and Crystal Palace.
Reference of a report by the Royal Commission on London Traffic. In our account last week of an interview with Mr. Kearney was his marvellous project we took some extracts from this compilation and with the authors consent we now quote from his remarks to the Royal Commission which he observes had much to say on the subject of underground Railways. Mr. Kearney first reminds us that the Royal Commissioners were :- Sir David Miller ,(Chairman) Earl Condor, Viscount Cobham, Baron Ribblesdale, Sir Joseph Cockfield Dimsdale, Sir John Dickson Pounder, Sir Robert Threshie Reid, Sir John Wolfe - Barry, Sir Francis Hopwood, Sir George Gibb, Sir Felix Schuster and Mr. Charles Stewart Murdoch C. B. .
The most important recommendations made by the Royal Commissioners which directly bear upon the proposals made by the Royal Commissioners in connection with the Kearney Tube Railway are quoted and commented upon :-
