The application was refused, and notice of appeal was given, but 'Somehow, a re-bearing was given by the City Council, and the application was granted. The bus proprietors appealed, and the Board allowed the appeal, with the result that Ingham lest Ins two! licenses. The Beard put its reasons in writing, viz : —lt was satisfied that tho services to Hutt Vniloiy were jamlple.

One might almost say a side-show.
