made a favourable impres-

This sudden increase
in the Motor Transport
fares has made the pub-
lic to approach the higher
authorities for reasonable
rates. 'Ihis increase, accor-
ding to Motor Transport
Syndicate, is beoause the
State authorities have re-
duced the capacity of pas-
sengers with very few
luggages. The public are
of the opinion that the
Motor Transport fares in
Sikkim should not exceed
more than -/1/6 per mile
and the State authorities
be requested to increase
the capacity with seaso-
nable amount of luggages.
