NO PUBLIC TRAM-PASSES
TRANSPORT BOARD DECISION MORE ABOUT TENDERS That annual tram and bus passes should be issued to the general public was a suggestion made to the Transport Board this morning by the Mount Alhert Borough Council. The board decided that at the present time it could not . entertain the proposal. An improved time-table giving more trips at the existing scale of fares was approved on the application of Suburban Buses, Ltd. The secretary of the board reported that all operators and local bodies had been advised and none had raised any objection. Asking to be allowed to amend an accepted tender of £2,844 for air brake equipment to £3,054, the National Electrical and Engineering Company had stated that since the tenders had closed the firm had received advice from its principals that 10 per cent, must be added to the original price. The principals had cabled, but the message had never reached the Dominion, according to inquiries made at the Post Office. The board in committee will consider the request. In any case the amended tender was still the lowest.
