'No legitimate argument'—LA

OBJECTORS to licence applications had no legitimate argument when they said that if additions were made to the conditions of a licence then the applicant was likely to be too busy to make use of the extra facilities.
This was the opinion expressed by Mr. J. R. C. Samuel-Gibbon, the Western Licensing Authority, at a public inquiry held at Taunton on Tuesday.
The LA granted an application for a variation in his B licence by Mr. R. K. Gillard, who operates a 41,--ton vehicle from Burrowbridge, near Bridgwater.
After hearing Mr. M. McGregor Johnson, for the objectors—E. A. Major and Sons (Transport) Ltd., L. W. Gready, and A. J. Baker (Haulage) Ltd.—the LA commented: "The argument put forward on behalf of objectors is the one which I hear from time to time: 'When your traffic will be on offer you will already be busy, so you won't be able to do much about it'.
"The thought raised in my mind is: 'Well then, why are you bothered about it?' The stronger that argument is, the less the objectors have to fear—that must be so."
The LA granted additional facilities for the carriage of agricultural produce and requisites, fruit and vegetables for various named customers.
