THE original intention of the Trans port Act, 1953, to spread the formerly State-owned vehicles among a large number of operators has been realized.
According to 'records maintained by The Commercial Motor, special A licences have so far been issued to well over 6,000 hauliers. Compared with ' the number of vehicles sold-19,304— this indicates that, on average, each holds three vehicles.
And with lorries still changing hands, the scope of distribution is still on the increase. Transfers are reported from seven areas this week.
