BFCAUSE vehicles exceeding 12 tons Ls, gross weight are banned from crossing Torpoint Ferry, D. Row and Sons, Ludgvan, Cornwall, asked the Western Licensing Authority, on Monday, to substitute two vehicles weighing 6 tons 8 cwt. for the articulated outfit of 64 . tons at present on their B licence. Mr. J. C. Waite, for the applicants, said that besides being too heavy for the ferry, the large vehicle caused complaints when delivering at Covent Garden. The company also sought a variation of the conditions, to read: " Farm produce and containers in England and Wales for J. H. Slade. Ltd.; goods, excluding feeding stuffs from Avonmouth Docks, for Farm Industries, Ltd., James Kendall and Son, and Harvey and Co., Ltd., in England and Wales; and goods for Spillers, Ltd., and associated companies any distance." Mr. T. B. Bennet, Spillers' area manager, said little use was made of British Railways, and British Road Services had never been approached. For British Railways, Mr. John Russell, district traffic superintendent, said negotiations for traffic were still going on, and the present application was unnecessary as there were plenty of facilities available. Mr. S. W. Nelson granted the vehicle changes and the variation in conditions, with the exception of Spillers. This was amended to read: "Goods from Spillers, Ltd., from Plymouth to Pro bus, and to places in Cornwall west of the 5th degree of longitude,"
