HAULIERS REFUSE FOREST WORK A N-official of the Forestry Commis
sion, Mr. John E. Leslie, said at Penrith, last week, that many .hauliers took one look at forest roads and refused to negotiate them. He was supporting an application to the Northern Licensing Authority by J. 1W. Graham, Ltd., Cockermouth, who sought an additional vehicle on A licence because of increasing output of timber from woods in the ...Lake District.
Mr. Gr,aham said the carriage of timber to Northern England and Southern Scotland had developed almost to the exclusion of other haulage. Customers were now dissatisfied with his service and he was having to work at week-ends to meet the demand.
Mr. Leslie said Mr. Graham carried pit props and stakes for the ForeStry Commission and this work required someone who knew his way about the forests and could negotiate difficult roads.
The application was granted.
