AHAULIER who agreed that he was hiring one of his A-licensed vehicles to British Road Services, last week asked the Yorkshire Deputy. Licensing Authority, Mr. J. H. E. Randolph, to transfer another of his vehicles from C licence to B licence.

Mr. A. Goss, for the applicant, Mr. A. Broadly, Keighley, said he had three vehicles on A licence and a C licence

tipper. This vehicle went empty into Lancashire to collect sand and gravel for his business as a merchant. It would assist him if he could carry castings and foundry requisites on outward journeys to Skipton, Mansfield and Congleton.

A B.R.S. witness said they hired one of the applicant's A licence vehicles and had paid him £260 this year.

Mr. T. B. Atkinson, for the British Transport Commission, submitted that no evidence of inconvenience to customers had been produced. Mr. Goss suggestion that the case could be adjourned for witnesses was improper.

Refusing the application, Mr. Randolph said there was a great deal in it from a common-sense basis, but he had his doubts as to whether it would be upheld if granted.

ATTRACTING MORE ENGINEERS A TTENTION is drawn in the annual 2-1 report of the Engineers' Guild to the great expansion needed in the numbers of professional engineers. The Guild's council believe that this cannot be realized unless the desire to practise the profession commends itself to more young people.

It is not doubted that enough talented boys and girls would, be available if they chose to take up careers in science and engineering, but they must be able to see good opportunities for advancement.
