nECMJSE leathercloth was easily damaged in transit, I.C.1., Ltd., the manufacturers, did not like their hauliers to sub-contract loads of this material. This was submitted to Mr. F. Williamson, North Western Licensing Authority, at Manchester on Monday when Sutton and Son (St. Helens), Ltd., applied to add six trailers and two articulated vehicles to their A licence to carry general goods within. 60 miles.

Mr. J. A. Dunkerley, for Sutton, said that ICE. traffic had increased by twothirds during the past six months, and there was difficulty in hiring other vehicles. British Road Services had bean approached on many occasions but were unable to help.

Mr. A. H. Gillis, 1.C.I. transport officer, told Mr. Williamson that there would be no adverse effects upon other carriers if the application were granted. Leathercloth was in great demand by the motor industry, and prompt delivery was essential.

Cross-examined by Mr. J. Booth, for the British Transport Commission, who objected, Mr. Gillis said that the railways did not provide suitable services, and that their rates were higher than those of hauliers.

Mr. Booth asked for time in which to study the "mass of documents," and the case was adjourned until next month.

HEAVY GOODS VEHICLES ARE

UNAFFECTED BY SQUEEZE THE Board of Trade's new hire' purchase restrictions, announced last week, will not affect the road haulage or public service vehicle operator in respect of buying vehicles.

The only commercial vehicles affected by the credit squeeze are light vans—up to 30 cwt. carrying capacity—and miniature buses which do not carry 12 or more passengers.

From April 28, the minimum hirepurchase deposit for cars and light vans was raised from as little as .5 per cent., with repayments over five years, to 20 per cent., with repayments over two years.
