AIR TRANSPORT.

NATIONAL SERVICE. APPLICATION FOR LICENSE. EXTENSIONS PROPOSED. (By Telegraph.—rress Association.) WELLINGTON, this day. The Transport Co-ordination Board resumed its sittings to-dav for the con-sideration-of licenses for commercial air cervices. The most important issue is that of a license for a national trunk service. Other applications were adjourned sine die, except that of Harvic, of Mangere, for an air taxi service, which was struck out at his own request. The applicants for the trunk service were the Union Steam Ship Company (011 behalf of Union Airways, New Zealand, Limited), the now amalgamated Xew Zealand Air Lines, Limited, Xew Plymouth and Dominion Airways, Limited, and Auckland and Xew Zealand Airways, Limited, Dunedin. Evidence has been submitted by a number of local bodies and Chambers of Commerce. A letter from the Union Steam Shi)) Company said that if a license as at present applied for was granted application would later'be made to extend the service to Xew Plymouth and Auckland in the Xorth, and Invercargill in the South, after actual experience of six or perhaps twelve months. Expert evidence is being taken this afternoon re flying and gAnnul conditions, essentials of service, etc.
