w E had to make a fight of it, of course, and there is little doubt but that the Licensing Authority is not impressed these days by complaints of 24-hour delays." This comment was made to me this week by a haulier who had succeeded in gaining two arties.
Then my haulier friend went on: The L.A. was a bit surprised when some of our customers told him that they were entitled to a 24-hour delivery. If their customers in London did not get it, they would promptly buy elsewhere. And that was something our customers were adamant about—they did not intend to lose business!"
Cleft Stick
HESE.comments seemed to me to sum up perfectly the
cleft stick in which hauliers sonietimes find themselves. Fortunately, on this occasion, the-extra vehicles were granted, hut what happens if they are refused? The haulier presumably stands a chance of losing some business!
My haulier friend also had this to say: "There is little doubt -that evidence of hiring is today regarded as evidence that other facilities are available."
Verse-atile President
i'VE got a " thing " about verse. If it appeals to me, as so I much of it does, I cannot rest until I know who wrote it. So for the past two weeks I have been engaged on quite a manhunt . . . for the author of the delightful verse quoted so' aptly by Mr. K. W. C. Grand, president of the Institute of
Transport, at the recent annual lunch of the Road Haulage Association.
I have to thank Mr. Grand for solving the mystery for me. although I believe he had to do quite a bit of digging himself before he was able to inform me that the. author was a Mr. Theodore Thornton Munger, a minister of the Congregational Church of America, who was born in New York in 1830, and who died in 1910.
The verse, for those of you who have tastes similar to my imn, is:
411 the past is shut up within us and is a sort of perpetual present. 411 the future is before us, and though duty is a present thing, it is constructed out of the past and runs endlessly into the future.
We thus have the past with its memories, the present with its duties; and the future with its anticipations—one for wisdom, one for action and one for hope.
'y Goodness, My Eagle
COMFORTABLE order which the Eagle Engineering Co., L. Ltd., secured a short while ago was for 20 of their mpressmore refuse collection bodies on 5-ton Thames Trader issis to be delivered to Manila, Philippine Islands.
['he arrival of these vehicles, S. C. Harrison (Eagle export es manager) tells me, caused considerable comment in the al papers, one at least of which had been lambasting the at municipal fleet alleging-1 presume not correctly—that ly a quarter of the city's refuse vehicles were ever in service one time.
emovers Get Moving
EVE papers, Scottish country dancing, pipe music to the early hours, and a double magnum of whisky (with £66 one lone dollar in the kitty of the Removers' Benevolent nd) were some of the fare at the highly successful conferences The National 'Association of Furniture Warehousemen and movers and The British Association of Overseas Furniture movers, held in Turnberry last week. .
Ile dollar, I am assured, is firm evidence of the international ks the Association has.
