COMPLAINT BY CITY CARRIERS,
IPeb United Press Association.)
WELLINGTON, July 3,
A complaint was made by the city carriers to No. 6 Licensing Authority to-day that the Railways Department and longdistance carriers from Palmerston North and Masterton were delivering goods from their centres to numerous places in the city. They suggested the establishment fif a depot where long-distance goods could be left for distribution by city carriers. The chairman of the authority (Mr G. A. Troup) suggested tiiat the interested parties should confer and make a report later this afternoon. Mr Troup asked the manager of the New Zealand Express Company whether it was possible to cooperate witli the railways regarding longdistance goods traffic. “ Yes, if we got a fair deal from them,” was the reply, ‘‘but at present I don’t think it is. We have had several conferences, but they have not been very profitable.” He suggested that co-opera-tion should be by the ton rate, not the truck rate, as desired by the department. The carriers were prepared to give the scheme a month’s trial.
