THE Western Licensing Authority on MOoday added_ two vehicles_ to the licence:of Mr. E. V., Cheney,—West .Road, Bridport, to carry goods : for Adatn, Lyffigne,• .Ltd., and for . lime spreading:•Applicant sought to cry

agricultural lime and requisites within . • 120 miles,. . . . „..

...Three-quarters of his existing_ vehicles

were said to be epiaged_ on lime spreading,and he wished; to carry occasional loads,. such as agricultural produce and requisites. Vehicles, were. moved to Cornvisall in the winter, as lime spreading could be done in that county at that time, because the soil was more suitable than in other places.

Last year, there was an acute shortage of hay on Dartmoor, and Mr. Cheney was stated to have been requested often to bring back hay on return journeys to that area. He told Mr. L. Pratley, for the railways and British Road Services, who objected with three private hauliers, that hay had been moved by other operators, and that letters supporting the application did not mention any transport difficulty.

Applicant said that he wished to keep his men fully occupied. They worked as a team and there were three months in the year when work was slack. They were highly paid, their basic pay being £10 a week, and when engaged upon spreading work they could earn £25 with overtime.
