THE Budget discussions were mainly concerned with the moredprominent financial aspects of the Budget and Comparatively little reference was made by members to the new scales of taxation for heavy vehicles.
Col. Shute raised the special circumstances of traffic along the line of docks at Liverpool. He said the transportation from the quayside to the warehouses had necessitated a certain style of road that was built primarily by the ratepayers long before commercial motors came into being. It was a fair Proposition that there should be some differentiation in the case of the vehicles used, seeing that this transportation was not in any way detrimental to the railroads, but was really ancillary to them. The Salter Report suggested a 25 per cent, rebate, and lie hoped the Chancellor would go even further. Over 50 per cent, of the, cargoes imported into Liverpool were dealt with by means of steam or electrically driven wagons, and if any heavier taxation were imposed it might even involve the elimination of this style of transport. The total imports into Liverpool last year were 6,600,000 tons, and of these there were removed by car, lorry, and motor lorry to warehouses and railway goods stations over 3,300,000 tons.
Third-party Risks Insurance.
TA TIRING the year 1932, the latest .1.1 period for which figures for England and Wales are available, the number of convictions for failure to insure ag,aint third-party risks was 10,439.
Children in Motor Accidents.
THE Home Secretary states that 625 persons were killed and 18,977 were injured in motor vehicles in the Metropolitan Police District in the six months ended March 31, 1933, and 115 of the persons killed were under 15 years of age. The number of children under 15 injured by all classes of vehicles for the same period was 4,668. The figures show a slight improvement, with regard to children, over the previous six months. The number of accidents in the 12 months ended March 31, 1933, was 99,540, compared with 111,170 for the previous year.
Trafalgar Square Signals.
THE Minister of Transport is advised that the automatic traffic signals at Trafalgar Square have proved generally satisfactory. The question whether any alteration is desirable will be considered in the light of ex
Perience gained. In the first three weeks of operations there were 22 accidents, of which only two involved a personal injury. In the corresponding period of 1932 there were 18 accidents, involving four cases of slight injury.
