TIPPERARY.
The dissatisfaction which was ex-
pressed at the Spring Assizes in several
OF the counties Interested at the al
legged breach of faith on the part of the
Shannon Development company in the
matter OF regular services. will be to
some extent allayed by the report of the
committee appointed by the grand jury
Of the North Riding of Tipperary to
inquire into the matter. The committee
conferred with the directors of the CO u
pany at which interview it was pointed
out to them that the cost of running
regular winter service was in no way
justified by the traffic, and that the re-
sulting loss hampered the working Of
the summer service. The committee,
accordingly, have recommended the
grand jury to allow the winter service
to be dropped, so that the company
should husband their forces so as to
afford increased facilities during the
Summer months.
