AN industrial coal merchant and haulier, Mr. John Day, managing director of Day and Sons (Hanworth) Ltd., of Brentford, was this week granted a transfer of five vehicles from Contract A licence to existing B licence. He told the Metropolitan deputy Licensing Authority, Mr. C. J. Macdonald, that the vehicles were used exclusively to carry coal and other solid fuels for Rickett, Cockerell and Co. Ltd., coal merchants, of London, E.C.3, up to distances of 200 miles. But as an industrial coal merchant, he also bought waste coal, which he processed and re-sold to the General Electricity Co. at a rate of 4,000 tons a month; he also sold 10,000 tons a month to other customers. With the vehicles being used under contract, Day said he had to hire transport to do his own coal work and the transfer would allow him to use these vehicles for both Rickett, Cockerell and himself.
Mr. Day said that the existing B licences, to which the Contract A vehicles would be transferred, covered his haulier's business, He told Mr. F. A. Crichton, for British Railways, that he did not intend to apply for a C licence, nor enter into further contract licences with Rickett, Cockerell for this particular work.
In granting the application, Mr. Macdonald limited the goods carried for Rickett, Cockerell to land sales coal, coke and solid fuel within 200 miles.
