PROTEST REGISTERED
BY RIWAKA FARMERS’ UNION AGAINST SERVICE CAR ARRANGEMENTS At the monthly meeting of the Mo-tueka-Riwaka branch of the Farmers’ Union held in Riwaka on Saturday evening Mr T. Kelling drew attention to the inconvenience that was being caused the public, particularly sick and aged people, travelling by service cars, which under existing arrangements do not depart from the main highways to pick up and deliver passengers as they did previously. The chairman said the people were being denied a privilege that they had enjoyed for many many years, and the matter should not be allowed to pass without registering a strong protest to the authorities concerned. It was finally decided on the motion of Messrs Kelly and Hobson that Gibbs’ and Newmans’ motor services be written requesting that the privileges previously enjoyed by those travelling by service cars—the picking up and delivery of passengers at their homes —be restored.
