the-South eastern 1-6.'ffic Commissioners at Reading last week for_ a licence to operate a new stage carriage seOice. they did not really' want.
Aldershot and District Traction Co., Ltd., asked for a licence for a new service 10 link Farnborough and Fleet; but Mr. A.. I. Evans,•. traffic manager:, told the ,Commissioners the application was .only made as the kcsult 'of pressure from Farnborough Urban District Council. " My view is that it is premature," he

For smile time, Said Mr. EVans, repre7 sentations had been made to his coinparty by individuals and public bodies for a service to link the towns, but they had been reluctant to do anything about it because of past experience. On two previous occasions—before the war and since—the service had been provided but had to be discontinued because-of lack of patronagc.
The matter came to a head in October when the Farnborough U.D.C, wrote *asking for implementation of the service.
"We agreed to make this application because it seemed proper for the Commissioners to have both points of view to consider," added Mr. Evans.
Refusing the application, the chairman. Mr. IL 1. Thom, said the Commissioners were not convinced there was a need.
