Incidental to Nottingham's proposed extension of munieilial boundaries and the powers which are 'being sought alternatively, either to extend the present tramway system or run motorbuses to places now outside the municipal area, a very decided predilection for motor conveyances has been manifested by the He cisnalti Torkard District Council, one of the authorities concerned. This local authority has manifested strong opposition to the annexation proposaLs, and repudiates the ides, of waiving its opposition to the scheme by accepting as a consolatory. arrangement the extension of tramways Into that township. In elaboration of a System' of motorbuses which is designed to connect up Hucknall with Mansfield, the largest Centre • outside the county, town, the Hucknall, authority is manifesting an intention to run its Own, buses and thus with similar schemes which have been projected for the Retford district in the north of the county and others covering the southern districts, which for a long time have been ripe for some such traffic development. • .Nottinghamshire soon promises to be cevered with a networkof motorbus traffic. MeanaCile, the early stages of the Corporation's Extension Bill has
afforded an interesting Parliamentary ruling affecting procedure in regard to projects dealing with road traffic. Memorials:had been presented against the measure by the Notts County Council, and other local authorities upon the score of non-compliance with statutory requirements, it being urged that a fatal preliminary error had been committed in that no copy of the Bill had been deposited with the road authorities affected. But the House of Commons Examiner has decided against the ola.lection, holding that quite sufficient notice had been given regarding that which in reality is —a second-class measure.
