"Pioneering Venture in Scotland"

AN application to the Licensing Authority sitting in Perth last week, was said to relate to a "pioneering venture" by a Perthshire lime firm. British Railways and Taylor Bros., contractors, Perth, opposed an application by Slaters Lime (Scotland), Ltd., Perth and Bankfoot.
Slaters asked for a B licence for a 4ton lime-spreading truck to carry lime and fertilizers anywhere in Scotland for subsequent spreading by the vehicle.
Mr. Joseph S. Kendall, managing director of Slaters, said the truck was, so far as he knew, the only one of its kind operating in Scotland. Mr. George S. Findlater, works superintendent of Fisons Fertilisers, Ltd., at Perth, said his company supported the application.
The application was also supported by the Central Farmers, Ltd., Methil, arid the Buchan Seed and Milling Co., Ltd., Fraserburgh.
Mr. W. A. Dickson, solicitor, for Taylor Bros„ said it was rather a wide application. He felt it should at first be confined to central Scotland or to a certain radius from the loading points.
Mr. A. P. Brown, for the applicants, said:— " The economy of Scotland today does need a fillip, and anything that is going to encourage production should be fostered."
Mr. Alex Robertson, the Authority, granted the application, but restricted the
area to that part of Scotland south of Dingwall, but including the Black Isle. "I know it is more or less experimental," he commented, "hut, it seems to me it would be cheaper for the farmers."
HIGHEST FIGURES BY REMOVERS cIGURES produced before Maj. F. S.
Eastwood, Yorkshire Licensing Authority, on Monday to show the amount of work done by the seven A-licensed pantechnicons of Turnbulrs (Removals), Ltd., Leeds, were described by him as the highest he had seen for a long time.
The concern applied to add a 1,200cu-ft. van to their licence. It was stated that the existing vehicles had been working to capacity for more than two years. Extra vans had to-be hired from as far away as Morley and Harrogate because Leeds removers were fully occupied.
During the past 18 months, said Mr. L. Turnbull, director, the company had had difficulty in carrying out proper maintenance, and had to apply fox temporary substitution nearly 50 times.
British Railways withdrew their objection. The application was granted.
ACTION ON LOADING BAN
ACTION will be taken by the Traders' Road Transport Association over the proposed experimental traffic-control plan for Putney High Street, London, S.W.15. Extensive bans on loading and unloading between 8-10 a.m. and 4.306.30 p.m. are involved,
Members have been asked to advise the Association of the effects of the ban. c7
