At the last meeting of the Hartlepool Corporation a further step was taken towards the conversion of tramways to trolley-bus operation, when it was resolved to seek powers, in the next Parliamentary Session, to establish a trolley-bus undertaking, in accordance with the agreement reached with West Hartlepool Corporation. It will be recalled, as previously intimated in The Commercial Motor, that the two authorities recently arrived at an amicable arrangement, whereby Hartlepool agreed to drop its proposed institution' of a municipal motorbus system and to participate in the control of trolley-bus facilities, to be instituted at the outset and worked until the necessary powers were obtained, by West Hartlepool.
It is stated that the London and North Eastern Railway will not oppose the application, an undertaking having been given that the municipality will not run motorbuses outside the borough for a period of 21 years.
