[THEN granting an additional vehicle on V an A licence to Mr. I. C. Jopson, of pleby, Westmorland, last week, the Irthern Licensing Authority, Mr. J. A. T. nlon, gave a severe warning to haulage uractors who allowed their drivers to rk excessive hours.

Mr. Jopson sought a variation of his A mce by the addition of one vehicle for the Tiage of agricultural produce and requi:s, fertilizers, machinery and all ancillary mirements, mainly in the six northern Hides and southern Scotland, and also 3ds for clearing houses as required.

Three people had come along to support n in his application, said Mr. Jopson. He J. two vehicles on his licence and the ditional one sought was already in his ssession. In evidence he produced figures 'erring to the work done by his vehicles, iich he claimed were fully employed. Mr. Hanlon said there had been some tuiries made by the enforcement officers Out Mr. Jopson's drivers and their !ords. "I understand that you have been gaging in a practice that when your drivers ye finished their 11 hours each day. you ye been sending your private car out and :y have been driving many more hours to t to a particular place.

"If you think that you can go on allowing your drivers to drive many hundreds of miles after they have done their hours of duty, then you are mistaken."

Granting the application, Mr. Hanlon said to other hauliers present they must not think that they could get away with what had been brought up at the hearing.
