• "I get so many cases of people entering into contracts who later realize that it just isn't going to pay and throw it in", said Mr. C. R. Hodgson, North Western LA, on Tuesday. He was explaining to Mr. A. Horton, of Congleton, why he had called him to the Manchester public enquiry in connection with his application for a Contract A licence.
Mr. Hodgson said he felt the £100 minimum guaranteed by James Slack Ltd. to the applicant was insufficient.
However, Mr. Horton assured the LA that he had had a similar contract for years prior to this one which paid him £400! 500 p.a. From his point of view this was worth while, he said, as he undertook his own maintenance. The licence was granted.
