HOW a special A licence was bought for about £210 at Liverpool fruit market was described to the magistrates at Milnthorpe, Westmorland, last week. Two partners in a Liverpool haulage concern—David James Neil, Cherryfield Crescent, Kirby, Liverpool, and Joanne Patricia Stanton, William Roberts Avenue, Kirby—were each fined £34.
They admitted using a lorry without a carrier's licence, using a licence with intent to deceive, and not having an Excise licence. They pleaded not guilty to running an uninsured vehicle.
P.c. Buckley said the lorry was seen at Milnthorpe displaying an expired Excise licence and a special A licence which had been altered. A C licence was under the passenger seat, In a statement, Neil explained that he was operating on C licence when he heard that some men at Liverpool fruit market wanted to sell a special A licence. He bought it and displayed it in place of the C licence, thinking this was in order.
Joanne Stanton said in a statement that she urged Neil to "snap up" the special A, and paid him £92 towards the cost of about £210. Both she and Neil thought the Excise licence was not yet due for renewal, and neither was aware that the vehicle was uninsured.
The couple were each ordered to pay £2 10s. 8d. costs.
RAILWAYS TO HAUL BULK CEMENT BY ROAD
A'unopposed application by British Railways to add two bulk cement carriers not exceeding 411 tons each to their Leeds-based A-licence fleet was granted on Tuesday by Maj. F. S. Eastwood, Yorkshire Licensing Authority.
Mr. James Sneddon, of British Railways, said that 600 air-slide wagons for carrying bulk cement were being buil:. In 1957 they hauled 400 tons of bulk cement for G. and T. Earle, Ltd., Hull, and last year 830 tons. A figure of 14,000 tons a year was the target.
Referring to the report in The Commercial Motor last week of the Portasilo method of bulk-cement haulage, he said that the railways were to experiment with this system of delivery.
Mr. A. Bowes, traffic manager of G. and T. Earle, said the company had 76 bulk-cement vehicles on C licence, which had carried 72 per cent. more traffic last year than in 1957. He wished the railways to introduce their own road vehicles to make local deliveries from rail. It was impossible to hire bulk tankers.
