• A haulier objected to a competitor's licence renewal in Liverpool last week, contending it would enhance the competitor's objection to its own application which was only part-heard.
L. F. Briggs (1932) Ltd., was seeking to replace three six-wheelers and a four-wheeler totalling 26 tons, with four eight-wheeled tippers weighing a total of 35 tons. For Briggs, Mr. J. E. Jones submitted a letter from its vehicle suppliers explaining the difficulties of obtaining six-wheelers and suggesting the purchase of the larger vehicles. Mr. L. Briggs, grandson of the founder, said they had been on order for three years. Mr. Jones submitted that due to the new plating regulations and the increase in unladen weight, the firm would only gain four tons.
Objecting on behalf of William Rainford Ltd, Mr. J. A. Backhouse calculated the company would gain one vehicle's worth of extra carrying capacity. Referring to his client's adjourned new B application (CM March 22), Mr. Backhouse said more capacity would increase its vehicle availability and thus strengthen its objection in this case.
Briggs' figures showed annual earniq of £50,590 for 18 A-licensed vehicle giving average vehicle earnings of f2,8C which did not indicate fully occupie vehicles, he said.
The company also sought to add "sand to its one-vehicle B licence conditions t facilitate interchange of vehicles whe unloading vessels at the docks. M Backhouse submitted that such a admission would release an A vehicle f other work.
The North Western deputy Licensir Authority, Mr. A. H. Jolliffe agreed to ti addition but limited it to carriage fi Ravenhead Glass Ltd. Granting a renewi Mr. Jolliffe said he was not happy abo the low earnings the eight-wheeler wou have but was prepared to give them ti benefit of the doubt. However, he ask( the firm to submit details of its prese traffic since during cross examinatic as to whether it carried dolomite under i "minerals" conditions, Mr. Briggs had be, unsure of the commodities carried by 1. company.
