week the chairman of the North Western Licensing Authority, Mr. F. Williamson, said he would have to take legal advice before determining a proposal by Burnley, Colne and Nelson Joint Transport Committee to raise from 14 to 15 years the half-fare age limit for schoolchildren.
Most of the committee's other proposals to raise fares were authorized. With added revenue from advertising and higher rates consequent on recent increases approved for Ribble Motor Services, Ltd., they arc expected to yield about £22,000 a year.
Mr. R. W. Gann, for the committee, said it had been estimated that in a year about 10.6m. passengers would pay more, 3.6m less, and 25.5m. would pay the same fare.
LOWER TAX ON TOWER WAGONS CLAUSE 4 of the Finance Bill, which N-d amends the Vehicles (Excise) Act, 1949, was passed by a committee of the House of Commons on Tuesday.
In future, all tower wagons, instead of only those used by electricity, gas or electric transport undertakings, will be taxed at a preferential rate of duty. Moreover, only 1 tons of the weight of a mobile concrete mixer will rank as taxation weight.
The clause also simplifies the administration of part-year licensing and clarifies the law on prosecutions for offences under the 1949 Act. Only proceedings under Sections 13 and 15 (1) of the 1949 Act will have to be • authorized by local authorities. All other offences under the Act may be prosecuted by the police.
BUS OPERATOR GIVES AWAY BUSINESS
A BARRY bus operator, Mr. John 1-1 Isaac, has given his business to an employee. Mr. Isaac, who is 84, said he could have sold his business, comprising four buses and a garage, but he would not let anyone buy it.
The employee is Mr. R. R. Adams, who has worked for Mr. Isaac for six years. Mr. Isaac, who believes in helping a willing man to success, said: "If anyone deserved it, it was Mr. Adams."
Mr. Adams, last week, was granted the licences by the South Wales Licensing Authority.
