COMBINES CREATE DISCORD.
nURING a sitting in Blackpool, last Saturday, Mr. W. Chamberlain, chairman of the North-Western Traffic Commissioners, said that there was a more happy relationship among Blackpool operators until the combines started taking over the smaller concerns.
Previously, during the hearing of an application, Mr. Chamberlain referred to the controversy regarding the picking up of coach passengers on the highway. Observations had been taken by the Commissioners, and they had justified the reports furnished by the police. Whatever powers the Commissioners might have, they had no authority to fix stands in the highway. That power lay with the municipality.
