'P0 farmers giving evidence in s:ippon of H. I. Johnson, of Henley' in-Arden, seeking to add five vehicles to his six-vehicle A-licensed fleet at Birmingham last week, said that either their own or their colleagues' combine harvesters were at a standstill because they could not obtain transport to get bulk grain moved from their limited stores. One said he had 100 tons lying in the open.
British Railways withdrew their objection after the West Midland deputy Licensing Authority, Mr. R. A. Hall, had said that action would be taken against the applicant if he disregarded his declared intention of the use of the vehicles sought—this was that 90 per cent of the traffic would be bulk grain.
The application was granted with a normal user of bulk grain, wool, farm produce and requisites, animal feedingstuff, fertilizers, as required; solid fuel, the property of D. M. Stevenson Co. Ltd., or their customers, within 120 miles.
For the applicant, Mr. M. H. JacksonLipkin, said that four of the six vehicles at present operated had a normal user in the same terms as the one now being sought for the additional vehicles. Total earnings for the past year of the six vehicles was £23,000. The applicant really, required 10 additional vehicles but could afford to buy only five at present.
