Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

THE Deputy Northern Licensing Authority, Mr. G. W. Duncan. at Stockton-on-Tees last week reserved his decision on an application by B.R.S. (Pickfords), Ltd., for authority to add an articulated unit (tractor, 12 tons 2 cwt., -and trailer, 15 tons) to their Stockton A licence. Mr. T. H. Campbell Wardlaw, on behalf of the objectors. had submitted 'that there was no case to answer.

The Deputy Authority said he would like time to consider the submission. If he decided there wasno 'case for the objectors to answer, that would be an end of it. If. however, he decided there was a case, the onus would then rest on the objectors to prove otherwise.

Mr. A. W. Baltic, for Pickfords, said the company was making the application because of the increased demand in the Stockton area for • vehicles capable of carrying 45 to 60 tons. The demand was so great that it was often impossible to supply 'a -vehicle when it was needed.

Mr. Ward law said that Pickfords did not have a good case. There was a very simple principle involved, he said. The application was for a special type of vehicle to carry heavy loads. When considering this type of vehicle one had to

look at it more on a global thai basis. That was why there we times objections from as far Manchester and Wales to apt made in Stockton.
