DISMISSAL OF CONDUCTOR.
HIS APPEAL FAILS.
ISSUED A USED TICKET. (By Telecrrapn.—Press Association.) AUCKLAND, Wednesday. “If each of our 340 conductors missed a two-penny fare a day for each day in the year the revenue lost to the Transport Board would amount to £1039 yearly,” said Mr Ford, manager of the board, when giving evidence before the Appeal Board. The hoard was considering the appeal of a conductor against his dismissal for allegedly issuing a used ticket to a woman passenger. Mr. Ford said travellers on the trams usually preferred to mind their own business and not give evidence in cases against employees. Sometimes they assisted conductors to do wrong. Some conductors lost as many as fen or twelve fares daily. Many tram services looked on an open inspection as so inefficient that they resorted to a plain clothes inspector. This was espionage and did not exist in Auckland. The board dismissed the appeal, tlie employees’ representative dissenting on the ground that there was only orm witness and it was a case of one person's word against another’s.
