Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

WHEN Wilts and Dorset Motor Services, Ltd., applied to the Western Licensing Authority at Salisbury on Tuesday for an increase in certain return fares, Mr. M A, B. King Hamilton, for the company, said that the cessation of the Z training scheme. had caused a reduction in the military population of Salisbury Plain, which formed a big part of their custom. In a year, revenue had declined by £30,000.

A comparison between 20 weeks of this year, when the scheme was not in operation, with the corresponding 20 weeks of last year showed a loss of 400,00Ia passengers.

The Wilts and Dorset proposals, which were reported in 7 he Commercial Motor on October 30, are that Id. be added to fares from 6d. to 1 Id., 2d. to those ranging from Is. to Is, I Id., 3d. to those of 2s. to 2s. I Id„ and so on up to 5s. and above, to which not more than 6d. would be added.
