Mercury, Saturday 20 December 1952, page 6
Rumours that the Grove Rd. bus service would be sold to the Hobart City Council were completely wrong, Mr. W. A. Neilson, M.H.A., said yesterday.
Mr. Neilson said the Premier (Mr/ Cosgrove) had told him the Government had no intention of selling the service.
He said he had expressed opposition to any sale following representations by the Lutana-Prince of Wales branch of the A.L.P.
