EX-CONDUCTOR ON EMBEZZLING CHARGE

AFORMER conductor of Liverpool Transport Department was fined £20 at Liverpool, last week, after he had been accused of embezzling £2 from them. On several occasions rolls of tickets booked out to this conductor were reported as missing, and as a result observations were made.

A member of the department's staff travelled on the vehicle CM which the accused was the conductor and was given a 6d. ticket for her fare. On checking the conductor's waybill for this day, this particular ticket was not shown as having been issued. The register readings on the waybill showed a variance of 350 tickets.

Liverpool police were informed and, after questioning, the conductor admitted that instead of continuing to issue tickets in numerical sequence, he had retained a roll and on the day in question had issued tickets from this roll through his Ultimate machine. When he had sold a number of these tickets he substituted the correct roll and altered the numbers on the waybill.

NO WAITING AT BUS STOPS

I-1 A SERIES of 15 no-waiting signs is

to be put up in Bradford to prevent vehicles from being parked at bus stops. There will be two signs at each stop, and painted on the intermediate length of road will be the words "Bus Stop." The idea is that of Mr. Arnold Walker, deputy chairman of Bradford Watch Committee. Lengths of road affected vary from 16-60 yd.

The city applied for signs at 43 stops, but only 15 were approved by the Ministry of Transport.
