ADDRESS AT NEW LYNN Ef fECTS OF MOTOR OMNIBUS LEGISLATION ■Transport service affairs, as they £ tko city and the suburbs, were ".scaS-'O* by Messrs. A. J. Stallworthy J n. Allen at a meeting last even•ng at New Lynn. Tiie legislation of the Motor Omr'ibus Act, said Mr. Stallworthy, had pjjied the City Council to buy .S 4 000 worth of out-of-dute buses. Th© legislation had been rushed through to protect the tramways, and ite Government railways, although the .mall bus companies were on the verge / insolvency. The only one good point in the Act was that it gave ■ reaUr protection to the public. It tho City Council a monopoly in transport, and also constituted that body a licensing authority. A greater danger existed if the proposed Bill, up a transport board, became j aW without moditlcation. He believed n unification of control and private Enterprise us a solution to the present trouble. An independent licensing authority would probably restore public confidence in the council. Mr. Allen stated that lie had fought the Motor Omnibus Act from its inception. He considered things would be- . ome worse under the proposed transport board.
