The possibility of double-decker buses being operated on the main- land was revealed to the "China Mail" to-day, by Mr. Louey, man- ager of the Kowloon Motor Bus Company. In the event of such vehicles being sanctioned by the Government, they will be ordered from Messrs. Thornycroft's or Messrs. Leyland.

With the operation of the franchise on June 11, granted by the Government, all Kowloon buses will be operated by the Kowloon Motor Bus Company, jand a new company has been formed with an authoris-

ed capital of $3,500,000. Up to two-thirds of the capital will be issued. The capital of the old company was $250,000.
