Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

THE opening of a new flour mill at Gateshead greatly increased th'e demand for haulage and this led to an application to the Northern Licensing Authority for an additional A-licensed vehicle by Mr. Joseph' Robbins, Easington Lane, County Durham, which was heard on Monday.

The applicant said that he had undertaken haulage work for Joseph Rank, Ltd., since 1900. This concern had recently put ifs new mill at Gateshead into production, which meant that -greater supplies of feeding stuffs and flour were available for distribution in the north-east. He produced figures which showed that Rank's traffic alone had increased by nearly 50 per cent.

during 1951. • In addition, Mr. Robbins said, the amount of furniture removals undertaken by his vehicles had doubled since June, 1951, because of removals to the new town of Peterlee and other re-housing in the district.

The application was granted. '
