TRUNK AIR SERVICE
A NfERGER OF INTERESTS, ALTERNATIVE TO RONGOTAt [ Per Preea Aseociatlun. ] WELLINGTON, March 21. Efforts to arrange a merger of interests between the contending parties for the trunk air service licence arc now being made as a result of to-day sitting of the Transport Co-ordination Board. At the afternoon sitting SquadronLeader Isitt read reports from the directors of the air and meteorological services dealing with the possibility of regular operation of the route. It would be impossible to get into or out of Bongotai, he said, on at least ten per cent, of the days owing to visibility. An alternative aerodrome within a radius of 30 or 40 miles of Wellington was an essential. The board will sit again to-morrow. DEPUTATION TO MINISTER SERVING ALL MAIN CENTRES t P.r Fres. luo-Utloa 1 WELLINGTON, March 21. A deputation waited on the Minister of Finance following the sitting of ths Transport Co-ordination Board to-day, and urged that all the main centres should be covered by any air service licensed. Replying, the Minister agreed that a start should be made in the best way economically possible. It was difficult to see that a service eliminating Auckland and Invercargill could be satisfactory.
