The haulage industry has an ally in the person of the Deputy-Mayor of Doncaster. Alderman Samuel Morris. Speaking at the annual, dinner of the Doncaster Division of the C.M.U.A., he said that too much favour had been shown to the railways when questions of road transport were dealt with.
He had always been a strong advocate of road transport, the Deputy-Mayor went on, which had assisted the manufacturer, not only economically, but by prompt delivery. Doncaster was very proud that it was a railway centre. He had been in business in Doncaster for nearly 45 years and in that time the L.N.E.R. Co. had been very progressive and had done a great deal for the town, but one could not get away from the fact that the same goods station, which existed 50 years ago, had not been enlarged or improved.
