BUS COMPANY FINED
NEGLECTED TIME-TABLE For failing to run according to their approved timetable on Easter Saturday the proprietors of the Te Papapa Omnibus Service were fined £2 and costs at the Magistrate's Court yesterday. On a second charge of using unlicensed buses, defendants, who pleaded guilty on both counts, were ordered to pay £ 5 2 s costs. Mr. Mackay represented the Auckland Transport Board, by which the prosecution was brought, and Mr. Hubble appeared for the defendants. Evidence for the prosecution showed that on Easter Saturday the defendants took several buses off the Te Papapa service and made a number of trips with them to the Ellerslie racecourse, while on another occasion buses which were not in accordance with the provisions of the Motor Omnibus Traffic Act were operated by them.
