AT Glasgow last week, Mr. William Miller, Calderbank, applied successfullY to inaugurate an express service between Airdrie Cross and The British Olivetti, Ltd., factory in Queenslie Industrial Estate, Glasgow.
Witnesses said that the firm allowed 60 minutes lateness per month, followed by suspension and then dismissal. The special bus delivered employees within one minute of the time clock, the stage services on the main road being at a considerable distance. Timekeeping, they said, had been 100% during the operation of the Miller bus.
A. representative of Scottish Omnibuses dein-led that abstraction would result, since they were the licensed operators on the route. But Mr. J. Law, for Miller. denied any possibility of abstraction since Scottish Omnibuses had not carried this business for four years.
Granting the application, Mr. Quin said that the public interest was confined to the needs of the work-people carried.
