TAKAPUNA SERVICES.

To tl)6 Editor^ Par, —T can heartily endorse the statements of Ademiff which appeared in Tuesday evening's "Star."' There are two points of interest in liis letter which demand 'invesiigation. Who formed Oiis deputation? And who vested in -them auUiority to barter the comfort and convenience of scores of people for a β-hillinjr per week reduction in fares? And really they have gained nothing for the reduction must have come in any case. To the majority of residents the news of this deputation came aa a surprise, and it etill renuuns a mystery to mo&t of ue. While a one shilling per week reduction is not to l>e despised, and no one wants cheap fares more keenly than I, an improved service is more to be desired. We had an ■hourly service 15 years a^o,' when I used to travel on tihe old horse buses which ran to Devonport. The 8.30 to 5.30 workers Jmve to spend more Mian a full working day per week in loafing about, which generally entails unneeeaI sarr expenditure.—T am,' etc., TIRED.
