No Return Loads on Egg Traffic

BECAUSE eggs were now packed in non returnable cardboard cases, return loads could not be guaranteed to a contract-A licence holder. This was explained to the Deputy Scottish Licensing Authority, Mr. Alex Robertson, at Aberdeen last week, when Gordon Innes (Transport), Huntly, Aberdeenshire, applied for an A licence for two vehicles at present operating on Contract-A licence for Banffshire Egg Packers, Ltd.
Mr. Robert Ledingham, a partner in the company, told Mr. Robertson that their contract business with the egg packing company had been satisfactory while they brought return loads of empty cases back after • delivering to Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dundee and Cardiff.
Eggs were now sent in non-returnable containers and the packers could no longer guarantee return loads. If his company were to continue carrying eggs to the south, they would require their vehicles to be authorized by A licence so that they could obtain return loads of any description, thus making the operation economic. Mr. James Smith, a representative of Banffshire Egg Packers, said that the applicants would continue to get the same traffic as at present if their application was successful.
Mr. Hugh D. McPherson, one of 12 objectors, told the Deputy Authority that he was objecting because there were ample facilities for the carriage of return loads into the Huntly area. He was not interested, he said, in the egg traffic.
Mr. John Angus, who represented five of the objectors, submitted that the evidence of Mr. James Smith be disregarded, as he was not only connected with Banffshire Egg Packers. Ltd., hut was also a partner in the applicant company.
Mr. J. S. MacLachlan, for the applicants, submitted that he had made out a case in accordance with the various favourable decisions of the Transport Tribunal concerning applications of this nature.
The Deputy Licensing Authority granted the application subject to the surrender of the contract-A licences, also subject to a modification of the normal user being declared by the applicants.
