Mr. Riches intimated that no case had been made out for the granting of a licence within the general radius. There Was, however, sorriething to be said for a service between Lairg and Ullapool and Lairg and Lochinver, as both destinations were not served by a haulier. He was, therefore, prepared to grant a licence for a service between these two points.
Mr. J. Mitchell, for applicant, said his client had considered the suggestion, but found it unsuitable. Mr. Riches then intimated that the application was refused.
Objections to the application were made by the Southern Transport and Trading Co., and the L.M.S. Railway. The latter, however, did not press its Objections when amendments were Made to the original application.
