A CASE in the traffic court, at Man chester, last Friday, illustrated the valuable work that is being undertaken in connection with the goods-Vehicle licensing scheme of the C.M.U.A. in the Manchester district, There is also a similar scheme for passenger-vehicle operators: each requires a small extra fee besides the Association annual subscription, but it is well repaid.
In the instance referred to, an eminent Manchester concern of hauliers had, in a licensing rush, accepted conditions that proved definitely inadequate for its needs. Like many other operators, the company did not realist the limitations under which, some day, it would find itself labouring. Instead of being able to carry general goods— which practically everybody knew was the concern's old-established work—it was restricted to certain goods.
The company placed the matter in the hands of Mr. H. H. Larosley, as secretary of the goods-vehicle licensing scheme, the application was put on a proper basis, and the Licensing Authority, appreciating the reasonableness of the whole case, granted the licence so as to meet applicant's requirements.
