place of religious worship, or any religious
observance, or instruction on religious sub

the ground of social antecedents OF the like. -

may be fined 500 for the first offense and
on the second offense may be removed from
the list of recognized colleges.

The local authorities are to be given the
option of purchasing the house q the pull

land adjoining as may be required at
$4,000 an acre. But Holly Lodge, High

Competition i'll Bus Service.
Motor buses increase in number almost
daily on the streets of the metropolis. And
1t may be added, the congestion in the
depots becomes worse. Some Of
the earlier types are constant visitors to
the receiving wards, whittier the derelicts
are removed from the street side. Occa-
sional rumors credit the various companies
with a determination to abate the present
and to rearrange fares on
scale more in consonance with the work
ing costs, but the prospect is doubtful.
Meanwhile the existing state of affairs is
not without advantage to the general pub
lie, for whose benefit new and longer routes
are being opened up. Some idea of the
density of the motor bus traffic in central
London may be gathered from the fact that
the average number of these vehicles sched-
uled to pass along the Strand in both d.
rections every hour is 305, and along Fleet
street 30, while the number hourly con-
verging upon the Bank of England is close
upon 400 These figures relate to motor
buses alone and take no cognizance of
other veh.cular traffic.
