A HAULIER who applied to Maj. 1-.1 F. S. Eastwood, Yorkshire Licensing Authority, last week to add an eightwheeled tipper to his A licence, was granted his request subject to the deletion of an existing vehicle.
Maj. Eastwood commented that this would not cause difficulty. It had been said ,that one of the vehicles was in bad condlition because the applicant had been too busy to maintain it properly.
Mr. R. A. Webb, for the British Transport Commission, who objected, questioned the• applicant, Mr. G. D. SIeightholme, Mahon, as to why his earnings for 1959 showed an increase over those for 1958 whilst his tonnage carried had declined. , An increase in charges and the operation of longer journeys to Liverpool were given as the reasons. Mr. Webb said that the Liverpool traffic affected the railways.
Mr. I. F. Dales, of the York office of the railways, refuted allegations that rail deliveries to Liverpool from Market Weighton took four or five days. There was now no shortage of wagons, he said.
