A mass meeting was held last night in the great synagogue in Tel Aviv to demand that the plan for transferring the Palestine Railway junction from Ludd to Tel Aviv, which the Government has abandoned, should be proceeded with. Speeches were delivered by Mr. Dizengoff, Mr. Bloch, the Mayor of Tel Aviv, and Messrs. Glockman and Shoshani. Mr. Dizengoff reminded the meeting that at the request of the railway management the Tel Aviv Municipality had in connection with the scheme helped in providing a site of an area of 140 dunams for the purpose of building the central station in Tel Aviv.
The meeting passed a resolution demanding that the plan for transferring the railway junction to Tel Aviv should be carried out. It also adopted a resolution demanding that the improvement works in the Jaffa port should be started immediately.
