MOTOR BUSES FOR HUTT
LICENSES GRANTED ' The prospect of the motor bus ser* vise- shortly being established in tlte borougli engaged the interest of the Lower Hntt Council at it? meeting last night., An application was before the council from O. B. ill. Anson and. R. Eady foe the issue of licenses for two motor buses to ply for hire. 'The Mayor (Mr. E. P. Bunsy) moved that the applications be granted. Councillor Dawson thought that the matter was one that should be discUßScd. Hβ understood that the applicants had two buses now, and that they were getting another. 'IWMayor: Mr. Bradley is proposing to run another. Councillor Dawson '-aid that this would be more satisfactory. He would not have liked to see the council authorise a service by two or three buses only. For his part he would like ti> see the -applicants before the council tf> disou-ss how thej' were going: to run. ' Be would' like to see the n tes defined, because ho did not think that the-routes ptoposed now were at all satisfactory. Mr. Bunny; Tho routes seem to me to bo rcrv satisfactory indeed. These men are going into this venture, putting their own money into it, mid I don't think we should lutmpei - thorn. They J nrc- business' men, and I presume that they, are going to run where they can pick up the traffic. ■' ■■■■■ ■Councillor Eoßipthorne: I suppo'gn that they will observe the speed limit? The Mayor: They will be prosecuted •if they don't. Councillor Dawson again urged that the applicants should come- before tho council to discuss the service. The Mayort We havo ilever done tins with regard to ordinary- horse buses. Wo hayo never fixed routes for them. They run where they can get passengers. It might be different if these people wore asking for a subsidy. We havo heen told that there is a' demand fo-r thess buses, and Wβ want to sep what 1 the result ii the exporien-ce- will be. Tho motion that tho applications V granted was .oafried, Councillor Daivson alone tlisseatiiiji.
