Fotm collieries applied for the renewal of A licences in respect of vehicles taking part in home-coal delivery services, before Mr. J. Farndale, Yorkshire Licensing Authority, at Rotherham, last week. The applications were by Denaby and Cadeby Home Coal Carting Committee, Maltby Miners' Home Coal and Transport Service, Silverwood Home Coal Delivery Service, Ltd., and Kilnhurst Colliery Coal Supply Service.
Decision on each application was reserved, but Mr. Farndale said that, in the meantime, he expected that applications would be made for B licences. Whilst restricting the radius in which the applicants' vehicles could operate, B licences would enable them to fulfil their requirements for the transport of home coal.
Mr. J. S. Walsh, for the Silverwood concern, submitted that, according to a recent High Court decision, such societies operated entirely for hire or reward, and wore, therefore, entitled to an A licence.
The Authority said he had heard that point many times previously. If the Silverwood company wished to appeal, he would give his decision. If not, it should apply for a B licence, which was the proper licence for the company's requirements.
Mr. George Starr, secretary of the Denaby and Cadeby Committee, said that, in addition to supplying men working at the colliery and widows of men who had been employed there, the committee transported furniture for men leaving the colliery or coming to take employment.
Mr. Edward Gould, secretary of the Silverwood Service, said that there were 2,300 members of this organization. Work was also done for Silverwood Colliery, about 100 tons a month being transported. In 1926, when there was a lock-out, fish was brought from as far away as Hull.
Mr. M. C. Vickers, of A.R.O., stated on behalf bf the Kilnhurst Service that machinery was transported for the colliery, and journeys were made to places as far distant as Coventry and Wolverhampton.
