Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

A LIME-SPREADING contractor and Ar-k hay and straw merchant told the Northern Licensing Authority, Mr. J. A. T. Hanlon, last week, that one of his biggest problems was transporting a Caterpillar tractor to tow his limespreaders. Mr. I. C. Jobson, Watermillock, Pertrith, said that at present he had to haul it with an agricultural tractor, but this was a slow process.

He wanted to use a lorry for the job, and required three vehicles on B licence in place of his contract A vehicles. The application, opposed by British Railways, was successful.

Mr. Jobson explained that he carried lime in the north for the Capitol Lime Company, and collected basic slag from Middlesbrough. Answering Mr. F. J. McHugh, for the railways, he said one B-licence vehicle ,would be neither practicable nor economical. Although the vehicles would carry the tractor, they would be needed for other haulage work.

The licence was granted, restricted to collections as required for Capitol Lime, with delivery within 45 miles.
