BECAUSE a special report on Cardiff Corporation transport undertaking Would cause "a good deal of public anxiety" and " upset public opinion unnecessarily," the transport committee, last Friday, asked Pressmen to leave and resumed the meeting in private. Shortly afterwards three members of the committee "walked out" in protest .against what one of them, Coun. Arthur Manley, described as "the action of a certain member of the committee in repeatedly opposing the committee's decisions."

It was learned that the demonstration followed the rescinding of a one-vote majority decision for abolishing the pay-as-you-enter system in favour of a differential fare system on all services. A report was made by the general manager on the possible raising of fares consequent on the increased fuel tax. , It is estimated that the transport undertaking • will show a . combined deficit of nearly £12,000 during the' present financial year and that an extra £26,100 will be required on fuel account. The' undertaking's accumulate. deficiencies last December amounted to £267,158.
