I NTERESTING information was
brought to light by a railway advocate at a sitting of the North-Western Deputy Licensing Authority, in Liverpool, on April 15, when Mr. J. H. Goodenough (Knotty Ash Garage Co.), 286-290, East Prescot Road, Liverpool, applied for a B licence for a 1-ton vehicle to carry goods for customers whose vehicles were off the road while undergoing repairs.
Mr. G. H. P. Beames, for the railways, said he thought that such a position as that described by the applicant had been envisaged by Section 15 of the Goods Vehicles (Licences and Prohibitions) Regulations, 1936.
The Deputy Authority : "The garage proprietor really has nothing to do with it, but his customer is the person most concerned and he must make the application."
Mr. Beames replied that the regulation was issued to cover just such asase as that described by the applicant. In addition, he would point out that if a licence such as the applicant desired were granted to the Knotty Ash Garage Co., his intended customers would, at the same time, be able to avail themselves of this regulation, and that would mean a dual grant for the same purpose.
In refusing the application, the Deputy Authority said he thought that the position outlined by the applicant was amply covered by the regulation referred to.
