Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

BITUMINOUS ROAD FACILITIES, LTD., road-spraying contractors, of Wilton, Wiltshire, successfully applied to the Western Licensing Authority, Mr. S. W. Nelson, at Bristol last week, to use seven vehicles (five tankers and two tippers) during the winter months for the haulage of semi-solid fuel oil and tarmacadam materials within a radius of 200 miles of their operating centre.

Making the application, Mr. T. D. Corpe said the tankers, which were specially equipped for tar spraying and were busy in the summer months, had not been licensed hitherto because they were classified as road-making machines (tar boilers used on the site). The sole reason for the application was to provide work for the vehicles during the winter months.

Supporting the application, a represen tative of British Bituminous Emulsions, Ltd., said they would use the vehicles to haul their products (tarmacadam material) to quarries all over the country.

It was also stated that the tankers would be used by the Shell-Mex company for the transportation of heavy fuel oil. Deliveries would be to non-railsiding-connected destinations. The tippers would be used for carrying cut stone.

Answering Mr. George Mercer, for British Railways and British Road Services (who objected), the managing director of the applicant company said the semi-solid fuel oil required heating before use add the tankers were specially equipped for this.

Granting the application, Mr. Nelson said the conditions attached to two tankers (16T) would be that they carried solid fuel oil for Shell-Mex and B.P., Ltd„ to non-rail-siding-connected destinations, from October to March inclusive; three tankers (15T 15C) bituminous products for British Bituminous Emulsions, Ltd., to non-rail-siding-connected destinations from October to March inclusive: two tippers (6T 18C) for bituminous products (cut stone) to non-rail-sidingconnected destinations October to March.
