N.S.W. RAILWAY INQUIRY
GOODE AS “HON. DIRECTOR.” [BY CABLE —PRESS ASSN.—COPYRIGHT.] SYDNEY, June 24. At the Goode Inquiry to-day, the main witness was Harold Waldrom, Director of the British Express Transport Coy., who gave evidence that Goode became an ‘‘honorary director” of his Company in 1927. and that for a considerable period he received regular payments of five guineas, and later £5 par week, from the company. These payments were originally shown as “publicity,” and when the auditor demurred, they were changed to payments to a man not an employee of the company. . Doctor Wall, a member of the Legislative Council, was also interested in the Company. Goode had assured witness that ho could make the company a great success, as he could induce several merchants to give the company haulage trade quite apart from business coming from the railways. Goode added that he could keep fifty lorries going on railway and other work. The company forthwith ordered six lorries. The hearing was adjourned.
