Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

WITHOUT calling on the objectors, the railways and British Road Services, Mr. W. F. Quin, Scottish Licensing Authority, on Monday rejected an application by Mr. J. Bryce, Juniper Green. for an A licence for three vehicles

totalling 14 tons unladen. Mr. Quin said that the case made out by the applicant was the weakest to which he had ever listened.

Mr. J. R. S. Buchanan, for Mr. Bryce, said that if the applicant were successful, a special A licence for one vehicle would be surrendered. His client also had 10 B-licence vehicles and had worked for many years for the Woodhall Paper Co., Juniper Green, carrying their taw materials and output within a 60-mile radius.

New machinery being installed by the company would raise production from the current rate of 150 tons of board a week to 250 tons by the early summer, and greater tonnages of raw materials would also be required. A representative of Woodhall Paper Co. said that Mr. Bryce brought them raw materials and provided six or seven vehicles each day to carry output to Bathgate, where the boards were cut to required sizes.

Final distribution was the responsibility of Russells of Bathgate, Ltd. In about six weeks, however, the boards would he sent direct to customers from Juniper Green as Woodhall were themselves installing a cutting machine.

Mr. Quin said that it was obvious that if he granted the application, Russells of Bathgatc, Ltd., would lose their work.
