TRAMWAY CONTROL
AUCKLAND PROBLEMS PERSONNEL OF COMMISSION QUESTIONED. [ Per Press \ssouatlon. j AUCKLAND, April 21. Objection to tho inclusion of Mr W. G. T. Goodman, manager of the Adelaide tramway system, in the personnel of tho Auckland Transport Commission, is taken by suburban local bodies in a letter to the Premier. Reference is made to the fact that Mr A. E. Ford, manager of the Auckland tramways, was trained under Mr Goodman, and that when he took over he stipulated that lie should be allowed to bring some Adelaide officials with him. The letter suggests that the I Auckland system will virtually be on trial, and as it no doubt conforms to that of Adelaide, the policy of which is probably dictated by Mr Goodman, the latter may be called upon to adjudicate on methods advocated by himself. It is suggested that tho Commission should include someone with personal knowledge and experience of local government conditions in and around Auckland.
