P. Beddow, chairman of the East Kent Road Car Co., Ltd., said at the company's general meeting, last week.
Although their last application for higher fares, heard by the Licensing Authority in October, was rejected on the ground that the additional revenue asked for Was "unnecessary at the present time," he approved it in essential principles," said Mr.
