Extension of the Omnibus Accommodation to Portswood and Highfield: A meeting was held last night of the leading parties in this project, and they will commence on Monday next to run an omnibus five times a day from and to the extreme points of Portswood and the Docks. This accommodation cannot be prosecuted at first without a subscription that shall meet the outlay over the return, and it is therefore asked of the residents generally to give their contributions towards it, and in a short time it will become self-supporting. At present a guarantee of £104 per annum for two years has been given to Mr. Goddard, in addition to his earnings by the omni-buses. The fare will be 3d. Any parties interested, or disposed to assist the project, can pay a subscription to Mr. Pincent, Mr. Pegler, Mr. Elliston, or Messrs. T. and G. Elliott, of Portswood.
