BUS REGULATIONS.
PROTEST FROM AUCKLAND. AN ENORMOUS PETITION. [By Telegraph.—Special to Standard.] WELLINGTON, June 22. Forming a stack of paper nearly two feet in height, an enormous Auck- f Jknd petition against certain provisions of the motor omnibus regulations was presented to Parliament today by tlve member for Eoskill, Mr V. H. Potter, who stated that it was signed by M. Froudo and 71. others.
After its- presentation the petition was carried out of the chamber with some difficulty by a messenger. It complains that the 2d penal fare is unjust, and that discrimination is made between buses owned by private concerns and those owned by the tramway authorities and municipalities. It prays “that tlve matter may be taken into immediate consideration and that means may he devised for remedying the grievances aforesaid.”
