Regulation may, and probably will, make the running of buses unprofitable boili to the owners arid the publie. It establishes an unfair principle witch would not have .been asked for or applied if the tramways were owned by private companies, instead of being municipally operated. It may be rcadiy conceded that the buses should be made to hear a fair proportion of the road maintenance costs, for it is surely against the public interest that the pcssibilites of cheapest passenger traffic should ho nullified by a tax on those using the buses in preference to trams,—“Mnnawatu Evening Standard.” ■=. The appointment of Mr Wright to Ministerial rank will probably cause severe heartburnings in some quarters. particularly in the north. Tt may bo said, however, for Mr Wright, that lie has a long ami honourable record of Parliamentary service to his credit, and. that his record of local public service has lieen equally long and honourable. Plainly he enjoys in large measure the confidence of the community in which lie is settled. That he will prove an industrious administrator is certain, and his readiness in debate, will he of value to a Ministry which, as at present constituted, is not so well equipped in debating strength a's might be desired. It is to be hoped that his views respecting the policy of the Education Department, which is to he controlled by him, will not be unduly coloured by his experiences as a member for many years or, one of the local hoards that administer the education system.—“Otago Daily Times.”
