THE apathy of hauliers who failed properly to prepare renewal applications for valuable A licences was criticized by the South Wales Licensing Authority, Mr. Idris Owen, at Wrexham, last week.
Told on behalf of J. Williams and Sons, Mold, who were applying for the continuation of a two-vehicle A licence, with modification, that the applicant had forgotten to ,bring his figures, Mr. Owen said he did not believe such obvious excuses. This was the third time the application had been listed. As long ago as December Mr, Williams was told that certified figures would be required, and was advised to seek legal assistance regarding his proposed normal user, general goods, as required."
Granting a further adjournment, Mr. Owen warned Mr. Williams that if he appeared again without properly certified figures, the renewal would be refuseille
Mr. Owen was deputizing for the North Western Licensing Authority.
