A N application by J. Williams and .1-1 Sons, Mold, for renewal of a onevehicle A licence was refused by the North Western Deputy Licensing Authority, Mr. A. H. Jolliffe, at Wrexham, on Monday, after being told that two of three brothers—to whom the licence was issued—were no longer interested in the business. Mr. W. Williams, a partner, said that owing to ill-health and the absence of his brothers, T. I. and L. 'Williams, the business had declined during the last five years. He had purchased the wrong type of vehicle—a flat—but there was plenty of work for tippers and if the licence was granted he proposed to replace his flat with a new tipper. • Mr. J. Edward Jones, objecting for G. and T. Hopwood, Mold, said that it was the fourth application for renewal, and Mr. Williams had previously been told that he had no authority to operate in the name of the partnership. The figures produced were very poor and any change of user to tipper work would be strenuously opposed. Mr. Jolliffe said that before making a take-over application, Mr. Williams must obtain authority from his brothers and evidence of need would be required from customers. A short-term licence would be granted to regularize the vehicle's present use.

If he received too much work he would pass it on to other carriers. If he decided to cease business he would give up the licence.
