• The applicant had customer witnesses who would say that they had five vehicles' worth of work to be done and only three vehicles were applied for on the new A licence, said Mr. J. A. Backhouse in Manchester on Tuesday. He was appearing for J. Ravenscroft and Sons Ltd. of Manchester. The four objectors had agreed to withdraw if household removals were excluded from the normal user sought which was "new furniture, office furniture and equipment, packaging materials and plastics as required".

Mr. A. E. Massey, a Ravenscrofl director, said the vans were not suitable for complete removals. The Licensing Author

ity, Mr. C. R. Hodgson, remarked that Ravenscroft's existing business showed a substantial increase in revenue and subcontracting.

Mr. B. Lewman, traffic manager of Hughes Stevenson Ltd., said their business had increased by 10 per cent and it was becoming more difficult to find suitable transport. Because of the nature of their product, vehicles had to be completely waterproof. Twelve additional loads a week had to be moved which was equivalent to 4/5 vehicles. He would be supporting an application by one of the objectors, Leggatts Transport Ltd., for additional vehicles.

As his business had increased by 25 per cent, said Mr. R. P. Yates, Relaxateze Upholstery Ltd., he required 1/2 vehicles a week. The application was granted.
