IN a circular issued to members of the
North-Western Area of A.R.O., Mr. John Hopkins, Liverpool secretary, mentions that the North-Western Licensing Authority draws attention to the following matters:—
Applicants must bring to the inquiry the taxation registration books of all vehicles at present owned and used, and should be prepared to produce information as to the districts within which their vehicles are to operate, and the classes of goods to be carried.
Applicants for licences or for variations which involve an increase in the number of vehicles already licensed, or in carrying capacity, would be well advised to produce the following information, if it be available:—Tonnage carried per quarter for each quarter since April, 1932; receipts per quarter during this period, and mileage per quarter.
Where the applicant proposes to support his application by a contention that the vehicles at present authorized are insufficient, he mayfind it desirable to produce drivers' records in confirmation of his evidence.
