During the early part of this year, we placed an order for a large fleet of new buses, although early delivery was promised at that time, the man- ufacturers later found that were unable to execute the order ac- cording to the time specified on ac- count now prevailing in England

We are now glad to state that a large number of these vehicles have arrived, and will be used to augment all services concerned IFS SOON they are ready for the road.
