DECISION AT GISBORNE FARES AND TIME-TABLES [BY TELEGRAPH —OWN CORRESPONDENT] GISBORNE, Friday The Mo. 4 District Traffic Licensing Authority has spent two days hearing applications for motor service licences and a revision of fares and time-tables in the Gisborne-district. On the Gisbome-Napier route the authority decided to increase the fare from 27s 6d to 3.05, with the return fare 555.

In making the increase in fares it was stated that a lower rate had been fixed for the summer months.
