ROSENEATH INTERESTS

MEETING OF PROGRESSIVE ASSOCIATION. I A meeting of tho Roseneatli and Mount victoria Progressive Association was held last night. Mr. K. W. Burbidgo presided. Replying to a request from the association for permission to form a tennis court and bowling green on Ihe Town Belt at Telford Terrace, the Citv Council wrote stating that it could not approve of the application. Ihe need of an easement being provided at the PalUser Road corner, near the Presbyterian Church, was stiested, and the chairman was deputed to interview the citv en gineer on the question. It was decided to ask the City Council to institute a bus service between Roseneath and the eity between 7 p.m. and 8 p.m., and between 9 p.m. and 16 p.m., and also to restore the Sunday bus service during ihe summer months. Exception to the nutnbei of inspectors employed by the Tramways Department was taken by the chairman. “The city, he said, "is eaten up with inspectors and what they draw in salaries must lie out of all .proportion to the number of people they catch travelling without having paid their faro. In the English cities one can travel thousands of miles without seeing an inspector, but here they are encountered everywhere.”
