The County Councils Association Passes Resolutions as to Highways and Vehicles.
A Cali. to Owners to Join the C.M.U.A.
We are able to publish, exclusively, the full text of a document now in circulation at the instance of the County Councils Association. This document, in our opinion, is nothing short of a " call to arms " to all owners and manufacturers of commercial motors. We direct particular attention to the resolutions D. (Motorcars), No. 6, which demands the closest attention and active resistance. It discloses a concerted effort to limit traffic developments by the admitted weaknesses of water-bound roads.
The whole of the resolutions are given in extenso, so that our readers may see how the various proposals affect their interests.
Our advice is join the Commercial Motor Users
Association forthwith, for by that means alone can the individual owner of a heavy motor hope to contest the inequitable suggestions which are framed to damage their legitimate business. We deal, at some length, on the first page of this issue, with considerations which must immediately arise. There are, of course, some good points in the memorandum—the bridge clause (C.) to wit. There are, unfortunately, other bad ones, and of these we may direct attention to the proposals for compulsory registration in the county of principal use (D., 3a) and the dangerous tendency to confuse heavy motors with traction engines (parts of E.). Close consideration is demanded.
