Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

" VERYBODY'S handyman " in Machynlleth, Montgomeryshire, describes Mr. G. A. Reason, an applicant who was granted a new B licence, at Newtown last week, to carry general goods, excluding livestock, within 12 miles.

Mr. Reason, a taxi proprietor, said that for many years he had carried general goods, including livestock and building materials, in a trailer attached to his taxi throughout the Dovey

He had not been aware that he was operating without authority and following an inquiry last year was granted a short-term licence for general goods within five miles. He had now disposed of the trailer and bought an Austin pick-up.

Mr. J. Edward Jones, for five independent objectors, said they had a certain measure of sympathy for Mr. Reason, who had originally applied for a 100 miles radius. He was a typical Welsh country town carrier and they would not oppose a grant up to 12 miles, excluding livestock.

Granting the application, the North Western Deputy Licensing Authority, Mr. A. H. Jolliffe, said that Mr. Reason's work of placing flood-warning signs would be unrestricted.
