ANEW parcels service will be launched next week by the Bristol Omnibus Co., Ltd. About 300 agents have been appointed in towns and villages served by the company's buses. and parcels may be handed to them or given direct to conductors. The service will be confined to country routes.
There will be three charges, depending on the size of the parcel—up to 7 lb., Is.; 7-14 lb., Is. 6d.; and 14-28 lb., the maximum, 2s. Any parcel will be accepted, provided it is not likely to inconvenience passengers.
The company are also planning to introduce a push-chair loan scheme at the new Bristol bus station. Push-chairs will be distributed at any time of the day for return at 5 p.m. .
This week thousands of leaflets have been distributed explaining the sweeping changes to be brought about through re-routed services which come into .operation on Sunday. These tie in with the transfer of all country services to the new bus station.
The Western Traffic Commissioners have now confirmed the alterations, which were approved in principle last week.
REPORT THESE CASES, SAYS MR. RANDOLPH
SEVERAL operators who have been granted licences to carry coal in the Chesterfield area have sold their businesses as soon as the grant was made. This was alleged by a representative of Messrs. Cawood and Wharton, coal factors, when he supported a haulier's application to the Yorkshire Deputy Licensing Authority, Mr. J. H. A. Randolph, last week.
He told Mr. Randolph that hauliers were "coming and going" all the time, and whenever these businesses changed hands he lost vehicles. At the present time he was finding great difficulty in securing enough vehicles to carry coal from open-cast sites.
Mr. Randolph granted the application by " Mr. Robert Smith, Bobbin Mill, Chesterfield, and said that any cases such as those described to him should be reported at once so that they could be investigated.
MORE UNEMPLOYMENT FORECAST
AN increase in unemployment if the engineering unions succeeded in securing a rise in pay was forecast on Tuesday by Mr. R. F. Butler, chairman and managing director of Kirkstall Forge Engineering, Ltd. ,
Many branches of the engineering industry were not fully employed and there was a good deal of concealed under employment, he said. He thought it would be far more sensible for the workers to exercise restraint for 12 months to help keep the maximum number of their fellows • in full employment.
