RAILWAY STATIONS ON THE PERTH-

FREMANTLE LINE.

TO THE EDITOR.

SIR,—I notice by your issue of to-day that a deputation waited on the Premier, asking for a railway station on the Fremantle line at the intersection of Thomas-street with the railway line. Before granting this request, should it not be well for the Commissioner to consider whether a better plan would not be to remove North Perth Station from its present position and erect it at Dyer-street level crossing ? This neighbourhood is getting thickly popu-lated, and a station there would be of great convenience to hundreds, whereas a station at Thomas-street would benefit perhaps one or two. It is plain that, since the extension of the Central Station premises to Melbourne-road (and even before), North Perth Station is much too close to the Central Station, and by moving the former to Dyer-street, about 30 chains, the wishes and convenience of many

people would be met.

Yours, &c.,

COMMON-SENSE. Perth, July 14.
