MAIL SERVICE CONTRACTS
TRANSPORT LICENSING’S EFFECT.
PRICES CONSIDERABLY REDUCED.
(By Wire—Parliamentary Reporter.) Wellington, Last Night. The effect of the Transport Licensing Act on mail service contracts in the North Island is illustrated in the annual report of the Post and Telegraph Department, which indicates that many services were relet at prices considerably less than those previously obtaining, due -to the control now exercised on road services. The number of tenders received was less than formerly and there was little indication of any tendency to take advantage of the position to demand excessive mail subsidies. On account of the lack of competition high tenders were submitted in .. few cases but usually negotiations with the tenderers produced satisfactory results. Mails were now included in the term “goods” as defined by the Transport Act.
