FREE BUSES.
SPECIAL UEGUSLATIGIfr LIMITS SHOULD BE DEFINED. Free omnibus services will be the eub* ject of a remit to the next tramways conference from the Auckland, Transport Board. This decision was made ait to-day meeting of the board, when the solicitors to the board reported that in theif. opinion the question of control of free bus services could only be dealt with. by special legislation. "The problem is not a simple one," they stated, "and i* raises the question of the right of individuals to give free rides in owned or controlled by them to theri; friends or customers. As far as we, know no country has yet attempted to grapple seriously with the problem although the question of doing so was discussed by the Government of Victoria some little time ago." They suggested that before approaching Parliament con* sideration should be given to the position and an attempt made to define the limits within which free riding should be permitted.
