Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

ICENSING regulations must be 1-.4 strictly obeyed, Mr. J. A. T. Hanlon, Northern Licensing Authority, warned a West Cumberland haulier when he made a renewal application at Carlisle, last week.

The continuation was in respect of a licence which expired at the end of November, 1959. Future improper applications would be refused, added Mr. Hanlon, Mr. Oliver Swan applied for facilities to carry furniture and household effects as required in two vehicles formerly licensed from December, 1955. He also asked for extended licence terms.

For the British Transport Commission, who objected, Mr. F. J. McHugh submitted that the applicant had failed to make out a prima facie case.

Mr. Hanlon said that he could not grant the licence in the terms asked for, but he would allow the carriage of furniture and household effects within a radius of 120 miles of Workington.

ADDITIONAL VEHICLE TO BEAT CONGESTION

BECAUSE of the congestion in the Li streets of Manchester, City Parcels Express, 95 per cent. of whose business was within the city, were 'unable to complete their daily programme without hiring.

Mr. C. K. Garlick, a partner, told Mr. A. H. Iolliffe, North Western Deputy Licensing Authority„, this at Manchester, last week, when the firm sought to add a vehicle of 3 tons unladen to their existing A licence for three vehicles.

Producing 40 letters in support, Mr. Garlick said that C.P.E. had operated a parcels service ill Manchester for 60 years. This was the first application for an additional vehicle. Although there was substantial hiring, it was expensive and showed no profit.

An objection by the British Transport Commission was withdrawn. The application was granted.

CARAVAN DISTRIBUTOR GAINS B LICENCE

vip-IEN Mr. J. A. Heath, Penrith, VV caravan distributor, sought a B licence to remove caravans in Cumberland and Westmorland at Carlisle last week, Mr. J. A. T. Hanlon, Northern Licensing Authority, granted a B licence for one vehicle and advised the applicant to seek a variation if his needs increased.

It was stated that many people had asked Mr. Heath to remove caravans, but that he had had to pass the work on.

Mr. Hanlon observed that the railways, who objected, had facilities for the longdistance transport of caravans.
