published by the Western Traffic Commissioners was expressed at the quarterly meeting of Somerset Boroughs arid Urban District Councils' Association at Weston-super-Mare.
Mr. F. W. Searle, town clerk of Chard, said that proposed schedules for ous services which were to be curtailed were not submitted to local authorities. The only way that any local authority "that might be suspicious of what may be happening" could find out details was to send an official to Bristol. Summarized information did not convey an adequate picture.
"We would like the Association to look into this question so that something like plain English could be put into these notices," said Mr. Searle. His authority _ had taken the line of lodging objections to everything published "just to be on the safe side," but it might be that improvements were proposed to which they would not want to object.
Mr. R. G. Lickfold, town clerk of Weston, suggested that it would be better if the Commissioners could briefly indicate whether proposals were for the reduction or improvement of services, or an increase in charges.
The matter was referred to the general purposes committee.
