AUCKLAND TRANSPORT
METROPOLITAN BOARD OF CONTROL
MR. JORDAN ASKS QUESTIONS
(THE SUN’S Parliamentary Reporter.) WELLINGTON, Tuesday.
The establishment of a metropolitan board of control for the Auckland transport district is favoured by Mr. W. J. Jordan, member for Manukau, who will ask the Minister of Public Works if his attention has been called to the position which has arisen in the Auckland suburban districts by the unsatisfactory bus services provided or allowed by the Auckland City Council, and as the ratepayers of Auckland City have recently rejected a loan proposal for the purpose of making the service efficient, will the Government introduce legislation giving effect to clause 11 of the report of the MotorOmnibus Regulations Committee, which was presented to the House on August 31, 1926, and which reads: “That considei'ation should be given by the Government to the question of establishing a Metropolitan Board of Control for the Auckland district, the board to have power to take over the tramway • and bus undertaking of the City of Auckland at a price to be assessed by some appointed authority, and power given to the Metropolitan Board to arrange the necessary finance and rating security over such metropolitan district.”
