HEAVY COSTS
AMERICAN TRANSPORT Interesting comment upon the condition of the transport business in America is contained in a letter which has been received by Mr A. P. O'Shea, secretary of the New Zealand Farmers' Union, from the secretary of the American Transit Association. The letter states: "This has been an exceptionally busy year for me, and there have been so many things happening in our country that it has been difficult to keep abreast of the times. The transit industry is making some progress, but it is still pretty hard going. Traffic is better than during the depression, but not sufficiently improved to enable us to see our way ' out of the wood.' Furthermore, increasing taxation and labour costs have a tendency just a little more than to keep pace with increases in revenue, so that the general outlook for the industry is not quite what we had hoped it would be at this time."
