After a general disoussion it was resolved: "That the members present are of tho opinion that it would be to the mutual advantage of all should suburban carriers become' members of the Wellington Association," a course which they later on in the meeting ■ decided to adopt, those present signing the required form. Proposed new tariffs suitable to Lower Hutt, Petone, and the bays were then drawn up. Messrs. Tosswill, Peok, and Baldwin wero appointed to call a meeting of Lower Hutt carriers, when the proposed tariff will be elaborated in detail. Messrs.
