SUBURBAN TRANSIT.
Sir, —1 am pleased there is some likelihood 'of the dominating control of the road by the City Council being ended. What right have they to say what fares are to be charged by bus; we used to be able to get along the road a few hundred yards tor a penny, now the minimum fare is threepence, thanks to the City Council. The result is that people sooner walk the distance. I hen again, they are trying to force the people to use the trams. They had no right to be the controlling body as the business appears to lie too much for them. Live in the country used to be the cry, but the council does not care one jot for the country, or what cost the suburban people have to pay to got to and fro. Sc. URBANITE.
