Double daily passenger service ls to be restored on May 27th so that the improved service will be avail- able during the period of silmnler tourist travel.

Having regard to our filtanctal position and the reductions in service that have been made throughout t-he coun- .y asawhole, this seeimstobea consistent and reasonable attitude.

We also feel that the earlier rather than the latel- connection from Sockville affords convenience to the greatest number, and that it is therefore the most advant- ageous arrangement for a. single service.
