A SUGGESTION that art A-licence 11 haulier should not be allowed to have a pantechnicon because he had always carried furniture on a platform lorry was rejected last week by Mr. .1, A. T. Hanlon, Northern Licensing Authority. But he adjourned an application at Stockton by E Foster and Sons, Ferryhill, for more evidence.
Foster's wanted to replace their 2-Eon " flat " by a pantechnicon of 3 tons 4 cwt. They were opposed by B.R.S. (Pickfords), Ltd., T. W, Cracknell, Haward and Robertson, Ltd., and S. A. Robertson.
Mr. E. Foster, in evidence, said they had had an A licence for two vehicles since the beginning of the 1933 Act, with a normal user including "general goods" and "as required," The platform vehicle concerned had carried furniture for many years and a tilt was fitted.
He had bought the pantechnicon because he thought there would he no trouble about a transfer to do the same work, A list of more than 300 jobs done last year could be produced. Questioned by Mr. J. Croft, for all the objectors, he agreed that the vehicle also delivered coal for his own coal business.
Mr. Croft submitted that there was no evidence to justify an additional pantechnicon being put on the road as the bulk of the present vehicle's work appeared to be coal. All the objectors had vehicles available.
Adjourning the application, Mr. Hanlon pointed out that Foster's were not entitled to carry their own coal with an A-licence vehicle. For this work they would have to apply for a B licence.
1958 REGISTRATIONS UP

The increase was chiefly attributable to the 167,083 vehicles in the "other goods" category, 31,994 more than in 1957. The total of hackneys fell by 68 to 4,974.
The December figure was the second lowest for any month of last year. Details are given in the accompanying table.
