SEVERAL objectors appeared before the North-Western Deputy Licensing Authority, in Liverpool, on Monday, when Mr. G. Smith, of Liverpool, applied for a B licence.
In August last, after being refused an A licence, and being advised to apply for a B licence, he was instructed to take his vehicle off the road. As he was buying the vehicle under a hire-purchase agreement, he remarked, he had to make a living and keep up his repayments. In consequence, he hired out his vehicle and services to Messrs. Sandford, haulage contractors, who, he understood, had a contract A licence for the machine. On occasion, he had also done work for Messrs. Summers, of Shotton, in addition to carrying goods to London.
Mr. G. H. P. Beanies, for the railways, in asking Sir William IIart to refuse the application, pointed out that since the refusal of Mr. Smith's previous application, lie had completely disregarded the notice from the Licensing Authority to withdraw the vehicle. It was, he argued, impossible for the Authority to grant two licences—a contract A and a B— for one vehicle.
Sir William announced On Tuesday that the application would be refused. 331.5
