TRUNK ROUTES
PALMERSTON NORTH’S EXCLUSION
AMENDMENT POSSIBLE.
(Per United Press Association.) Auckland, July 20.
“The final decisions of the Transport Co-ordination Board are capable of amendment by the board, notwithstanding the fact that apparently there can be no appeal against such decisions,” said Mr G. W. Hutchison to-day on behalf of Great Pacific Airways. He said the directors had ascertained that the board, by the simple expedient of a board minute, had recently amended its final decision regarding Union Airways and included Blenheim as a port of call. Noting this precedent, said Mr Hutchison, the directors were applying immediately to the board with the view of having the question of Palmerston North further investigated at a public sitting, and he felt confident the board, in view of the many emphatic protests against Palmerstson North’s exclusion from the Auckland-Dunedin route, would be prepared to give this question the’ reconsideration it so obviously demanded. As Great Pacific Airways did not oppose the amendment of the board’s decision relative to Blenheim they suggested that no opposition by Union Airways relative to Palmerston North should now be expected.
