We have been pleased to give space, beginning with an issue in November last, to four well-considered-articles entitled" Defects in Acts and Regulations.". These contributed articles are from the pen of a north-country and popular user of heavy motor vehicles. We may add that he has been associated with heavy transport for many years, and has successfully overcome difficulties which must have worn down Any man possessed of less acumen, energy and tact. It goes without saying, of necessity, that a -proportion of the points which he raises was embraced in the evidence which was presented before the L.G.B. Committee, by the writer, in October last, Experiences on the road, or in the ownership of commercial motors, generally lead to the same conclusions.
Our reason for directing attention to the fourth article (now published) in this series, and in expressing the hope that readers will generally give their attention to the concluding article, which is due to appear at an early date, is the following: now is the time, with the L.G.13. -Committee sitting, for any point concerning construction and use to be raised.
The text of the writer's, evidence before the L.G.B. Committee was printed in the issue of this journal for the 28th October last ; the articles of the series to which we refer have appeared in the issues of the 18th.Novernberi the 16th and 30th December, and to-day's instalment. The further consideration of points is not to be regarded as a belated effort. Means are in existence by which any new aspect of any feature or factor will be laid before the L.G.L. Committee, by a competent witness, ahead of the termination of its sittings. We are able to give this assurance without any reservation, although not to name the party by whom any such new points will be presented. We trust, therefore, that everybody who has an opinion to express will either ventilate it in our columns, or communicate it to us in the course of a private letter.
