The embarrassment of the under

together all sections of London, and
which have now gone into the hands
of a receiver for the REIMBURSEMENT of
the finances Of the system. is said to
be due to the sharp competition of
the motor buses and cheap cabs that
continue to do a fiourshing business
on the surface, in the open. This
explanation isn't altogether incom.
prehensible even from this somewhat
remote distance. For passengers who
are in no great hurry the charms Of

those of cab, for shilling are ire
