C HESTERFI EL D Corporation's transport committee has decided to apply to the Minister of Transport to borrow £8,000 in connection with the proposed purchase of the bus undertakings of Messrs. Porter and Son, Messrs. Mather Bros., .Mr. J. Rorison and Mr. E. Brooker, estimated to cost £11,980.
There has been a hold-up in . the negotiations between the corporation and the firms, but the latter are presssing for completion and the matter is to be pursued. The object of the purchase is to avoid wasteful competition.
MR. STIRK VERSUS COALVILLE. COUNCIL
A DISPUTE has arisen between Mr.
Stirk, chairman of the East Midland Traffic Commissioners, and Coalville Urban District Council. Mr. Stirk said recently that the Commissioners were not helped by local authorities in connection with increases in fares, and the municipality took exception to this remark. It appears that objection to certain proposed increases in fares was made too late.
Mr. Stirk is opposed to dearer fares, and he states that of 212 local authorities in his area only one made valid objection to increased charges. The dispute, said Mr. Stirk, is to be continued.
