TRANSPORT APPEAL BOARD
CONFERENCE PROVES FIASCO. Bl Telegraph—Press Association Christchurch, May 28. Evidently the authorities in Wellington who have charge of the administration of the new motor omnibus i emulations have found it hard to grasp the tact that the Christchurch City Council does not run either tramway or bus services. It was because ot this difficulty that a conference of local bodies convened by the Riccarton Borough Councl for the purpose of appointing a representative of local authorities to the Transport Appeal Board in No. 10 motor omnibus district proved a fiasco this morning. Late yesterday afternoon the town clerk of Riccarton received a telegram from Mr. C. J. McKenzie (acting-Under-Secretary of Public Works) advising him to postpone the conference, but the adtice was received too late to enable the local bodies concerned to be notified. Consequently, the delegates attended, nt the City Council chamber this morning. After the position had been explained. Mr. Nicholson said that he was quite satisfied that the position had been met by the appointment of the Citv Council’s representative. The other delegates coTiciwred with this view, and the gathering dispersed.
