AN appeal by Mr. M. N. Manson, Exmouth haulier, against the refusal of the Western Licensing Authority to grant him a B licence for a vehicle of 2 tons 10 cwt. unladen weight, was allowed by the Appeal Tribunal last week.
The applicant had two vehicles on an A licence and required a B licence for a third to carry building materials within a 15-mile radius and timber within a 25-mile radius. Turnover figures produced for the six months ended February last showed that receipts had increased by £63 a month compared with the previous half-year. Mr. R. Beddington, for the Road Haulage and Railway Executives, contended that it was not possible to gain a proper view of the situation from a report on a six-month period. He suggested that the period should have been about three years.
The chairman said that the Tribunal was satisfied that the supporting evidence gave sufficient grounds for the grant of a licence. The respondents had not rebutted the appellant's case.
He added that it would be advisable if, in the future, figures could be given for a period longer than six months.

At the recent public hearing of the council's case, opposition was made by Western S.M.T. and Young's Bus Services.
