RAILWAY COMMISSIONER.
REASONS FOR RESIGNATION. Received December 17, 10.10 a.m. SYDNEY, Dec. 17. The reasons for the resignation of Mr Cleary,, the Chief Railway Commissioner, are contained in a letter which Mr Cleary has sent to the Premier. Mr Cleary pointed out that the recent threats in Parliament to reverse appointments whenever the opportunity arose was having the effect of demoralising the service, particularly in the lower branches. He was convinced that nothing short of drastic reorganisation would put the service into proper working order. Without such changes, he would not attempt to carry on, but if ho attempted to carry on reorganisations it would be impossible to escape the suggestion of vindictiveness because of the railway history which w'as “too vivid and recent to be ignored.”
