I AST week, the Railway Executive 1-topposed -two. applications for B licences on the ground that traffic would be abstracted from A-licensees, who would then seek work which might normally go to the railways.
Mr. W. G. Simpson, Newport, near ld-, Mansfie applied to. the Yorkshire
Deputy Licensing Authority for a B licence to carry coal, furniture and manure. Mr. R. Sykes, for the Executive, said that the railways did not want thiS traffic, but small applications were piling up. The result was that Alicensees lost some of their trade and sought work which British Railways might reasonably do. The licence was granted. • Mr. Sykes made the same representation for the Executive against the grant 'of a 10 licence to enable Mr: L. Gregory, 13olsover, to run another' vehicle for delivering coal to miners' homes from
the colliery.
The applicant stated that he had not increased his charges. The miners wished him to continue to carry their coal, as they refused to pay the higher charges propqsed by other hauliers. Objection was lodged also by Messrs. ., who, it was stated, had carried the coal for 26 years without complaint until the rates increases were proposed. The Authority considered that there was no need for an extra vehicle and the application was refused. "Licensing Authorities are not normally concerned with haulage rates, except where they are considered to be unreasonable," he said.
