THE first motor show ever to be held in Japan was recently staged in Tokyo. Including the makers of equipment, 211 manufacturers were represented, the number of models shown, including commercial vehicles, cars, motorcycles and midget three-wheelers, being 170.
Mitsubishi Nihon Jukogyo Co. had three Fuso models on display—a tipper, a rear-engined bus and a lorry. Hino Diesel Engineering Co. showed two buses and a lorry. Nissan Motor Co. featured a Nissan truck and a Corona bus. Two lorries and a rear-engined bus were displayed by Toyota Motor Co.
Price Motor Co. exhibited'. two trucks, a light van, a fire-engine and a pick-up, as did Ohta Engineering Co.; a goods vehicle, a forward-engined bus and two rear-engined buses were shown by IVIinsei Diesel Engineering Co. Isuzu Motor Co. displayed a bus with forward-mounted oil engine, another with rear-mounted engine, an oilengined lorry, a six-wheeled petrolengined lorry and a fire-engine.
In the three-wheeler section there were eight makers who showed 29 models. One, the Mizushima, was described as of the Jeep type.
FARE PLAN APPROVED
THE plan of Leeds Transport Committee to add £250,000 to the transport department's yearly earnings received the approval of the city council last week.
Aid. J. Rafferty, chairman of the committee, said that financial difficulties had arisen because of wage increases and advances in the cost of materials. The department's cumulative deficiency ww now £434,525.
Mr. E. -G. A. Singleton, general manager of Burton Transport Department, has recommended an advance in charges. Although loan charges are lower, higher wages have to be paid, but last year's working, it is estimated, will yield a profit of £1,550.
HIGHER FARES AT BOLTON
pROPOSALS to revise fares on 25 of Bolton Corporation's services have been approved by the North Western
Licensing Authority. Decision was deferred on another two. The revisions are expected to realize a further £62,000 a year.
Although the transport department began the current year with about £9,000 in hand, it faces a loss of £38,000 this year.
