ik T the close of an inquiry into an In, application by Wallasey Transport Department for higher fares, the North Western Licensing Authority said that the proposals werereasonable and would spread the burden evenly.
The department sought to maintain the 11-d. minimum fare and to reintroduce the 2d. fare, which was recently abolished. Workmen's and children's rates were also involved. The proposals were designed to produce an estimated £10,000 a year.
It was stated that when the last application was made two years ago, the operating cost was 25.87d. a mile. it was now 29.24d. a mile.
Mr. W. R. Goodier, general manager of the department, said the estimated increase of £42,000 from the last fares revision had fallen short by £15,000 because of a poor summer season.
