" AN easy way to obtain an A lieence,"
was how Mr. John Angus, representing four objectors before Mr. Alex Robertson, Scottish Deputy Licensing Authority, described a successful application by Messrs. Cameron and Gibbon, Aberdeen. * The firm applied for an A licence for three vehicles to replace a contract-A licence for four. Their representative, Mr. W. D. Connochie, claimed that his clients had satisfied the requirements laid down by the Transport Tribunal, whether or not the application was right in principle.
Mr. f ohn Davidson, manager of Mowat's Pioneer Grit Co., Ltd., Aber
deen, said that they had received close co-operation from the applicants. It was his company's wish. to dispense with the contract arrangement and employ Cameron and Gibbon as hauliers.
In the year ended October, 1959, Mowat's had`paid Caineron wad Gibbon £23,000 for haulage, both by contract.and A-licensed vehicles. They would continue to give the applicants the:same amount of work and the benefit of any increased business.
Mr. Davidson gave an undertaking that no further contract-A licences would be applied for if the application were successful. A similar promise was made by Mr. John Gibbon, for the applicants.
