ROAD TRANSPORT.
PROPOSED AMENDED ACT.
Collie Council's Reaction.
BUNBURY, Dec. 25.-The Secre
tary of the Bunbury Chamber of
Commerce (Mr. A. Reid) has re
ceived a letter from the secretary
of the Dardanup Road Board (Mr.
C. Terry Hayward) concerning the
Busselton Municipal Council's recent
circular letter to all local governing
bodies asking their support in trying
to have the Traffic Co-ordination
Act amended in order to permit the
free transport by road of all pas
senger and goods traffic throughout
the State.
When this letter was considered
by the Collie Municipal Council, said
Mr. Hayward, it was reported to
have "made very short work of it"
and to have decided that any move
likely to lessen the demand for coal
could not receive the support of that
council. In other, words, it was not
the least concerned with the disabil
ities suffered by other sections of the
community all over the State, said
Mr. Hayward, but believed in a
policy of "hands off the Collie coal
monopoly."
Mr. Hayward also called attention
to the "contemptuo-us treatment"
meted out by the Bunbury Muni
cipal Council to the Harvey Road
Board's protest over the "Back to
Bunbury" campaign.
