The application concerned 10 vehicles in til. Mr. Rowe wanted to transfer six from contract A to A licence and .0 acquire four more on A licence with a normal user of: " Tiles, fireKaces, clay, bricks, flint and asphalt, Great Britain."
4r. J. A. Dunkerley, for Mr. Rowe, J it was a three-point application-1, ix-vehicle transfer from contract A A licence; 2, the replacement of a toMer'se C fleet by A vehicles; 3, the lacement of sub-contracting, which
entirely unsatisfactory to the tomer.

4r. T. H. Rowe. answering Mr. G. P.
■ we, for the British Transport Cornsion, said the application was made at :ington's instigation, and the outward tic was all for that company with kloads of clay and flint from London, rset, Devon and Cornwall.
'he asphalt company had recently ed their Bootle depot, and had asked . Rowe to carry block asphalt from ,sgow, Cardiff and London to replace t formerly carried from Bootle by their
vehicles. Pilkington's deliveries were aughout Great Britain from Wick to Ives. If a licence were granted. the -k would be solely for these two tomers.
4r. Crowe pointed out that the asphalt tpany's evidence was only that they ;ht require more transport. The earn per unladen weight ton of the A I contract vehicles was, respectively, I and £791 in 1958, and a grant five vehicles would be sufficient. Of the additional vehicles, one could replace the hiring which now cost about £3,000 a year. The remaining lorries, which Mr. Rowe bad said were wanted for asphalt work, should be refused.
Mr. Williamson said that taking into account the hiring, the surrender of the C licences, the undertaking given by PiIkington's not to take out further contract or C licences, and the specific statement of intention by Mr. Rowe, the proper figure for a grant was eight vehicles.
