HAVING coal delivered by road direct from Wigan to Sunrryhurst Nurseries, Ltd., Preston, is a cheaper proposition than the existing road-rail arrangement. This was stated last week by the managing director of the nurseries, Mr. W. Douglas, when he supported an application by Mr. G. R. Duckworth, Preston, for another condition on his 'II licence " solid fuel ,for Sunnyhurst Nurseries within 12 miles of base."
Mr. J. A. Dunkerley, for the applicant, said coal was being taken by rail from Wigan to flesketh Bank Station, where it was manhandled on to Duckworth's vehicles for delimery to the nurseries. This cost 16 8s.. but a direct Toad delivery cost 15 15s.
if the application were refused, the nurseries would revert from coal to oil. The objectors, British Railways, claimed that they would lose traffic, but this would not be due to dismerit, as Mr. Duckworth had no complaint against them.
Mr. J. R. Lindsay. North Western Deputy Licensing Authority, granted the application.
