No resistance was offered by Messrs. G. and F. Greggains, trading as Messrs. P. Greggains, Curson Street, Maryport, Cumberland, when the British Transport Commission, Messrs. Sunter Bros., Northallerton, and Siddle C. Cook, Ltd., Consett, appealed to the Transport Tribunal in London last week.
The appeals were against a decision of the Northern Licensing Authority granting Greggains a B-licence variation. This substituted a I3-ton low-loader for two tippers of 9 tons 4 cwt. and a 3-ton trailer, and enabled the low-loader to carry plant and machinery within 40 miles of Maryport.
Representing Greggains, Mr. J. Booth said that the appeals would not be resisted. The effect would be that Greggains would go back to their original position. They would start again with a new application which they hoped would produce results not subject to appeal, said Mr. Booth.
Sir Hubert Hull, president, said the appeals would be allowed by consent. If the further application were to be in any way based on the result of this decision, it would not be regarded with favour by the Tribunal on appeal, he added.
CLOSED STATIONS AFFECT SCOTTISH DISTRIBUTION
THE changing pattern of fertilizer distribution in Scotland, where railway stations have closed down, was raised at Glasgow last week when Messrs. John McKinnon and Sons, Cambusharron, Stirling, applied for variation of a B licence. They sought a condition "lime and manures in bulk within 60 miles and hay within 80 miles."
For McKinnon. Mr. J. Law said that the closing of stations now involved direct handling from production points. British Road Services, represented by Mr. A. B. Wilkinson, attempted to reduce the radii sought, but Mr. W. F. Quin, Scottish Licensing Authority, questioned whether B.R.S. or the railways could provide a comprehensive agricultural service.
It was admitted that the objectors had no spreading facilities, and Mr. Quin granted the lime and manure application. He ruled that no evidence had been given to support the hay application and left this traffic at the radius of 40 miles.
NEW HIGH-EFFICIENCY OIL CPECIFICALLY designed to meet the kJ requirements of the modern highspeed engine, a new oil, known as Advanced Havoline, was introduced to British markets last week by the Regent Oil Co., Ltd.
