A FTER failing to take up the grant of I–% a four-vehicle A licence in November, 1959, to take over part of a business operated by Joseph Lambert, a fresh application by a Glasgow haulier, Mr. William Wood, was treated as one for a new licence by the Scottish Licensing Authority, Mr. W. F. Quin, at a continued inquiry in Glasgow on Tuesday.
The question of revocation or suspension of the eight existing licensed vehicles following numerous breaches of conditions and operation without licence was also considered.
Mr. J. Law, for Wood, submitted there were delays in the purchase of Lambert's vehicles because part of the assets were sold elsewhere and by the time the takeover was complete two vehicles were unfit for use and the other two ceased operating very shortly after. By the time Wood was in a position to replace them the goodwill had been lost.
Refusing the new A-licence, Mr. Quin said there was no evidence of need and Mr. Wood's explanations were unsatisfactory. Decision would be reserved On the question of revocation or suspension of the other vehicles.
TEN MORE EIGHT-WHEELERS QAM ANDERSON, Newhouse, was granted 10 additional eight-wheeled tippers (90 tons) on B licence to carry road and building materials within 60 miles, at Glasgow on Tuesday.
