Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

" If Blackpool had not had the services of you gentlemen, as well as of the railways, the town could not have expanded in the way it has. Indeed, the railways could not have coped with the enormous goods and passenger traffic here." This unqualified testimony to the value of road-motor facilities, for public service and in assisting in the growth of an enterprising town, was paid recently by Aid. W. Rostron Duckworth (Mayor of Blackpool,

M.P. for one of -the Manchester Divisions in Parliament, and a member of the Road Group in the House

of Commons). He was one of the guests at the annual dinner, attended by 400 people, of the local section of the Motor Agents' Association.

Another member of the Road Group at Westminster, Mr. Roland Robinson, M.P. for Blackpool, made reference to the railways' appeal for a " square deal." It was his duty, as a Member of Parliament, to see that the scale was not weighted against road motors, nor against any form of transport.
