TWO applications, each for the same three vehicles, were unable to proceed in London last week when it was disclosed to Mr. D. I. R. Muir, the Metropolitan -Licensing Authority, that one of the vehicles was useless after a collision and the other two had been sold for scrap after the death of the licensee.
Mrs. I, Abery, 10 Rugby Street, Holborn, W.C.1, the wife of the deceased operator, told the L.A. that her husband had died in. August, 1960. Some time before his death he had started to work in partnership with a Mr. K. Jones of Marchmont Street, W.C.1. She bad applied for a new licence in the name of the partnership shortly after the licensee's death.
Officers from the Authority's office called upon her, but as 'he husband had left no will and letters of administration had not then been granted, the new licence could not be authorized.
Mrs. Abery stated that she look an active part in the running of the business 'until her husband's death, but she had been surprised to learn when she arrived in court after discussion with Mr. Jones that the vehicles were no longer in the business.
