nISCUSS1ONS on questions of prin
ciple and "spheres of influence" are to be held between Barton Transport, Ltd., and the Trent Motor Traction Co., Ltd., with a view to putting a gentleman's agreement into more concrete form.
This was stated at a sitting of the East Midland Licensing Authority when Barton Transport, Ltd., applied to run a service from Nottingham to Kirk Hallam estate, and another from Kirk Hallam to Derby. Trent Motor Traction Co., Ltd., objected.
Mr. L. W. A. White, for the applicants, asked for an adjournment and said that the number of occasions when the companies opposed each other might be reduced as the result of the discussions. The talks might affect not only Kirk Hallam, but other estates in the vicinities of which both companies were operating. Mr. W. Hargrave, for the Trent concern, said that it was intended that the territories appropriate to each company should be more accurately defined.
Mr. White and Mr. Hargrave said that a representative of the Birmingham and Midland Motor Omnibus Co., Ltd., would be invited to a conference about the Nottingham-Kirk Hallam service.
