J
that the United Kingdom Telegraph Company
had been, in your opinion, „necessarily unsuc
cessful“; will you explain that? — My reason
for saying so is this: that the United Kingdom
Company only served such a limited number of
toivns, that I do not think it ever had any chance
of success. A cheap telegraph ,y in order to be
successful, must go everyivhere, because, if you or
Igo to the United Kingdom Company to telegraph
to a particular town, taking the trouble to go half
a mile to the office and jind that it does not run
to the town, even though it may be an important
one, we should not go there again. Ånd then,
again, the United Kingdom Telegraph Company
ivas, in my opinion, wéak from tb e beginning ; and
the fact, of which I have spoken, constituted a
weakness which, 1 think, they never could have
got over.
William Saunders, Esq.,
examined hy
1359. The Chairman. You are Managing
Proprietor of the „ Western ’Morning Newsu ?
Yes.
1360. Were you appointed one of a com
mittee on the part of certain newspaper pro
prietors to hold a meeting in Manchester to con
fer with the Post Office authorities on the sub
ject of the Telegraph Bill? — Yes.
1364. You have heard Mr. Taylor’s evi
dence as to the terms of the agreements with the
Post Office for the transmission of news for the
newspapers? — Yes.
1365. Do you agree with his views upon
the matter? — 1 think that under these rates we
shall be paying quite as much for the transmission
of news as we are paying now; but 1 believe we
shall get a beiter supply of news.
Dr. Cameron,
examined by
1398. The Chairman. Are you Editor and
Manager of the „North Britisk Daily Mailu ?
— 1 am.
1399. Is that paper published inGlasgow?
— lt is.
United Kingdom Telegraph Co har været efter Deres
Mening «nødvendigvis uheldigt;“ vil De forklare
det? — Min Grund for at sige dette er følgende:
United Kingdom Co. beijente kun et saa indskræn
ket Antal Byer, at jeg ikke tror, det nogensinde
har havt nogen Udsigt til Sukces. En billig Tele
graf maa, for at være heldig , gaa overalt, fordi,
dersom De eller jeg gaar til United Kingdom Co.
for at telegrafere til en bestemt By, og vi gjøre os
den Uleilighed at gaa en halv Mil til Kontoret og
fnde, at Kompagniet ikke staar i Forbindelse med
Byen, endskjøndt den kan være en af Betydenhed,
vilde vi ikke komme der igjen. Og saa var til
lige, efter min Formening, United Kingdom Tele
legraph Co. svagt fra Begyndelsen, og den Om
stændighed, hvorom jeg har talt, bevirkede en Svag
hed, som jeg antager det aldrig kunde have kom
met over.
Hr. William Saunders,
examineret af
1359. Komitéformanden. De er besty
rende Eier af „ Western Morning Newsu ? — Ja.
1360. Yar De valgt til Medlem af en Ko
mité af visse Bladeiere til at holde et Møde i
Manchester for at konferere med Postvæsenets
Autoriteter angaaende Telegrafbillen? — Ja.
1364. De har hørt Hr. Taylor’s Forklaring
om Vilkaarene i Overenskomsten med Postvæse
net angaaende Befordring af Nyheder til Bladene ?
Ja.
1365. Deler De hans Anskuelser om Så
gen? — Jeg tror, at vi efter disse Taxter ville
komme til at betale fuldkommen ligesaameget for
Befordring af Nyheder, som vi betale nu ; men
jeg tror, at vi ville faa en bedre Forsyning af Ny
heder.
Dr. Cameron,
examineret af
1398. Komitéformanden. Er De Udgiver
og Bestyrer af „North Britisk Daily Mail “ ?
Ja.
