very successful in moving rubbish and waste material. a Glasgow firm was last week granted a rigid • vehicle in place of an articulated unit. .D. McNaught and Co., of Maryhill Road, Glasgow, applied for the vehicle to be substituted on its A licence with a normal user allowing the carriage of rubbish, building and allied materials over a 15-mile radius.
A director. Mr. John McNaught, said that they were fully ernployed and could not handle the work now available. They had attempted to hire tippers for the work but had not been very successful. The firm had expected to be able to use articulated vehicles on the mirk, but experience had proved otherwise.
SECOND TRY SUCCESSFUL AT an adjourned hearing last, week, 11 G. T. Johnston and Son, of Edinburgh, succeeded in securing a Fl licence vehicle of 3 tons unladen weight for furniture and small _parcels delivery in Edinburgh. The Scottish Licensing Authority, Mr. W. F. Quin, .asked for
• an assurance that the licence, would not cover removals. This was given.
The application had been deferred from an earlier hearing by Mr. Quin because Mr. Johnston had not brought witnesses. He was a working man without experience of traffic court procedure, the Authority then said. Last week Mr. Johnston produced three witnesses. British Railways and British Road Services objected.
HEAVIER LOW-LOADER WHEN granting a heavier articulated VV low-loader to an applicant in Carlisle last week, the Northern Licensing Authority, Mr. I. A. T. Hanlon, commented: " As plant is getting bigger and the vehicles that carry it are getting bigger, the roads are getting more crowded. Someone is going to call a halt somewhere."
R. Liddle, Ltd., of Carlisle, was granted a new semi-trailer, 2 tons 18 cwt. heavier than the existing one on an articulated unit for plant movement. The new trailer, Mr. Hanlon was told, would have a well 4 ft. longer than the old one, which had broken down and was not now an economic proposition for repairs.

The firm was fined £10 with £2 Its. 4d. costs for using tfie vehicle while unlicensed. For the firm, Mr. W. M. Bell said the wrong excise licence had been put on the vehicle by mistake.
