THERE was growing trade in meat I from the north east of Scotland to England it was stated when an application by Munro's Transport (Aberdeen) Ltd. to add eight artics and four containers to its present fleet of over 50 vehicles was heard by Mr. A. B. Birnie, the new Scottish deputy Licensing Authority at Aberdeen on Tuesday.
British Railways and British Road Services objected to the application.
Mr. D. Fowlie. a director of Aberdeen, North Marts Ltd., said that during the past two or three years a large number of its members had preferred to sell their cattle on deadweight basis, and to cater for them his company had been running a pilot scheme for 15 months with markets in the south. It had now decided to form a subsidiary company to do so, and it was the company's aim to slaughter cattle, sheep and pigs and send them in carcass form to various depots in England.
A London meat firm, with whom the applicant was associated, had 49 depots throughout England and expected to make a substantial increase in the amount it was sending south under the pilot scheme.
Mr. George W. Barclay, manager of the new company, said it was now sending three loads of meat a week to the London area and two to Glasgow and he estimated it would increase in the near future to a total of eight loads a week.
Mr. William D. Munro, managing director of Munro's Transport (Aberdeen) Ltd., said that it was because of the pressure of its traffic in paper and meat that the application was being made. Paper from the Donside Paper Co. Ltd. was the company's main traffic and since there had been a chant-re in the type of paper, more of it was going farther afield into England. He felt the company required four new vehicles to overtake the paper traffic and for the meat traffic which was increasing.
The hearing was adjourned to a date to be announced.
