Fines totalling £150, for offences in connection with oil fuel, were imposed in a case at Holmfirth, near 'Huddersfield, last Saturday. The defendants were Messrs. Willie Booth and Arthur Booth, trading as Messrs. H. Booth and Sons, haulage contractors, at The Garage, New mill.

Mr. Willie Booth was fined £100 for making a false declaration of heavy hydro-carbon oils in stock, and he and Mr. Arthur Booth were fined £25 each for failing to furnish a return under the I-Teary Oils (Road Fuel) Regulations, 1935,

New Outlet for Lancashire Docks Traffic.

One of the chief items in the five-. year road programme of Landashire County Council is a scheme for the provision of a new outlet for the heavy industrial traffic from the Liverpool and Bootle clocks to the north-east. The Minister of Transport has expedited a grant from the Road Fund towards the cost, which is estimated at

£110,000. A new road, nearly ads miles long, with dual carriageways, footpaths and cycle tracks is proposed.

Dock traffic proceeding in the direction of Preston has, at present, -no adequate outlet, and the new scheme offers a more satisfactory solution of the problem than the widening of existing roads.

Housing and Transport.

In its interim report on housing and planning, the National Housing Committee, 5, Duke Street, Adelphi, London, W.C.2, states that it is not enough to provide a large number of dwellings. It is at least equally important that they should be built in the right places and in the right relationship to transport facilities.

Examples of fundamental errors of distribution and inter-relation in the development of housing, of industries, of road and rail transport and the public services are to be found in all parts of the country. Ribbon and sporadic development has seriously impaired the safety and efficiency of the road system.
