STANDARD GAUGE PLAN

POSTPONED

SYDNEY, Sunday. — No immediate action is to be taken to standardise the railway gauge between Broken Hill and Pt. Augusta, Mr. Fadden, Acting Prime Minister, said yesterday.

It had been proposed that this line should be standardised by placing a third rail which would have given an unbroken run of standard gauge between Kalgoorlie and Brisbane.
