Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

-rwo new services, contemplated by Leicester Corporation, for which the consent of the East Midlands Traffic Commissioners has been sought, are expected to revive the rivalry between the corporation and the Birmingham and Midland Motor Omnibus Co., Ltd. The services proposed are in suburbs on thc eastern edge of the town, in areas formerly served by Messrs. Toone

and Sons, of Billesdon, whose services the "Midland Red" have acquired, subject to official approval.

They will go to the city boundary, as extended in 1935. Previously, the Commissioners have been reluctant to grant the corpoeation licences for services beyond the old city boundary. Previous conflicts between the corporation and the "Midland Red," on this point, have been taken as far as the Ministry of Transport.
