T a sitting of the Northern Area Traffic ' Commissioners, West Hartlepool Town 1ncil last week sought an all round increase a penny with 2d increase in second stage 7d s. The application followed a 9s 3d a week vase to bus crews—operative when the ze finishes—adding £11,500 a year to the ;es bill.
Deputy Town Clerk Mr. N. D. Abram said :a had to go up or the deficit would have to le out of the rates. Apart from the pay award .wance would also have to be made for the oduction of a bonus scheme similar to that rated by other north-east transport underEngs. Mileage covered by the town's one-man ;le-deck buses was among the highest in the ntry and the running costs below the average municipal undertakings. Their policy was to r fleet replacements out of revenue and the lertaking had been operating on very narrow rgins.
.7.ouncillor Laurence Watson, objecting on alf of Billingham Urban Council, said everywas looking for a bonanza when the freeze ed and it was going to mean chaos next year. Ile Commissioners' decision is to be announced
