[Special tc "Northern Advocate ” 3
AUCKLAND, Tins Day,
The Transport Co-ordination Commission held a further sitting in Auckland yesterday to investigate the truck rate system of railway freight. In its order of referennce the commission has a fairly general task of reporting on the system in so far as it relates to all classes of goods consigned from Auckland to the North. An inquiry is being made into the economic effects on shipping transport ser vices, and a considerable volume of evidence on these matters has been heard.
The chairman, Mr Langford, said yesterday that it was not possible to state the nature of the evidence that had been presented. However, the inquiry had not yet been completed, and a further sitting is to be held in Wellington today.
