— By TeJeKfiph — Copvripht).
Rec. June 24, 11 p.m. SYDNEY, Friclay. When the Royal Commission set up to inquire into the charges of misconduct against Mr. C. J. Goode, when he was Chief Transport Commissioner, resumed to-day, the main witness was Harold Waldron, a director of the British Express Transport Company. He gave evidence that Goode became an honorary director of his company in 1927, and for a considerable period received regular payments of £5 5/-, and later £5 per week from the comparty. These paymen'ts were originally sliown as for "publicity," and when the auditor demurred they were changed to "payments to a man not a membcr of the company." Dr. Wall, a member of the Legislative Council was also interested in the company. Goode assured Waldron that he could make th? company a great success as he eould induce several merchants to give the company haulage trade; quite apart from the business from the Railway Depdrtment. Goode added that Its could lceep 50 lorries going on railway and other works. The company forthwith ordered six lorries. The hearing was adjourned.
