THERE WAS conflict on availability schedules at the Metropolitan traffic court last week when McGee (Haulage) Ltd. appeared before deputy LA Mr. C. J. MacDonald, who granted a B licence for three vehicles conditioned: excavated materials for T. McGee and Co. Ltd., within 30 miles of Charing Cross. The company had applied for seven.
Mr. J. Amphlett, for McGee, explained that although it was a subsidiary of T. McGee and Co. Ltd., a Contract A licence would be inappropriate. As a public works contractor, T. McGee was often asked to move other people's excavated materials on its work-sites—for reward.
McGee schedules (produced) showed it had often been unable to obtain tippers from other operators.
The schedules contained the names of some of the objectors to the application. Represented by Mr. J. Thorpe, they claimed they had spare capacity on the days specified and in turn produced schedules of availability.
• Mrs. M. E. Fitzgerald, of Borehamwood, Herts, who failed to produce a financial statement, had her B-licence application for three vehicles refused.
J. Horgan, of High Wycombe, Bucks, submitted an auditor's statement in support of his application for a B licence for one tipper. But he failed to convince Mr. MacDonald of his requirement and the hearing was adjourned to allow Mr. Horgan to produce supporting evidence.
