N egg-grading and packing cornpeny. Worcestershire Farmers, Ltd., weich runs a fleet of C-licensed vehicles, recently applied to the West Midland Deputy Licensing Authority for a B licence to carry smallholders' green produce to the company's market for auction sale. The licence was refused, as it was held that the work could be done under a C licence.
Mr. J. A. Troop, manager of the concern, said that as the quantities of produce involved were small, the work was not worthwhile for ordinary hauliers. He understood; however, that to charge for this..work would be contrary to C-licence conditions.
The Deputy Licensing Authority', Mr.
J. Foley Egginton, pointed out that the produce was transported for disposal in the course of the carrier's own business, The company was an agricultural auctioneer, receiving a commission on goods sold. A C licence therefore
served the applicant's purpose. ,
