IT is estimated that the conversion of I Huddersfield's remaining tramways to trolleybus services will cost about R45,000. Alderman Thomas Canby, chairman of the tramways committee, said, last week, that the department was in a strong financial position, and he was certain that, before long, it would be able to recoup the money which would have to be borrowed to carry out this work.
On the routes which had already been converted to trolleybus working there had been an enormous increase in the number of passengers carried. On the Outlane, Lindley and Waterloo section there had been an increase, since trolleyhuses were introduced, of 1,518,146 passengers in 318 days.

"WATCH" COMMITTEES FOR DURHAM?
A CONFERENCE of local authorities 1-1 in County Durham, last week, decided to appoint a county advisory transport committee to watch over all aspects of road passenger transport in the county. In addition, the local authorities concerned are recommended to set up special committees in their own areas, to keep in touch with transport matters.
Each committee is urged to make representations to the Commissioners on any point at issue, especially where single fares are alleged to be out of all proportion to the return fares charged. The local committees were further recommended to meet operators to ensure that they were paying the proper trade-union rate of wages and emplowing only roadworthy buses, EIGHT MORE SERVICES FOR TRENT CO.?
