Important principles were raised during the hearing of an application by Lowell Baldwirl, Ltd., Bristol, for 13 additional B licences to enable vehicles to be used during the summer Months for limited haulage for other firms.
Mr. R. F. P. Holloway said that the concern was engaged in the coal trade, and, in order to keep the drivers employed during the close season, it was desired to use the vehieles for hire or reward. At present, 33 out of 40 machines operated by , the company were on C licences. There would be ample work for them to do during the summer if B licences were granted.
Mr. T. D. -Corpe, for objecting hauliers, said that there was no. case to answer and that the Lowell Baldwin company had not proved that its machines should be licensed for hire or reward to make operation economic.
Several Bristol hauliers gave evidence, and claimed that their businesses would be affected if B licences were granted.
Decision was reserved.
Big Prospects for Plymouth, Hauliers.
Developments of a Somewhat substantial character at Plymouth, which, it is anticipated, will extend over a number of years, were referred to at a sitting at Exeter, last week, of the Western Licensing Authority.
Messrs. R. Westlake and Sons, the big Devonport haulage firm, in applying for an A licence in respect of an addition of four to their fleet of vehicles (bringing the number up to 40), stated tfiat they did a great deal of work for Plymouth Corporation.
They supplied transport in connection with large bending developments in the district and the improvement and reconstruction of a dock, as well as carrying out removals as rehousing under slum-clearance schemes was proceeding. Furthermore, they expected a great deal of work in connection with a new reservoir and a new road.
Feeling that a real difficulty was being experienced by the applicants in meeting the needs of customers, Mr. A. F. Nicholson granted the licence.
New Manchester Service Station.
A Tecalemit 7-ton single-ram lift, claimed to be the largest of its kind available to the public in the Manchester area, was among the interesting new equipment demonstrated last week, when a new service station was opened by G. W. Smith and Co. (1925), Ltd., A.E.C. specialist.
The new depot, like the previous one, is situated at Olympia, hut is quite separate from the main building. Extensive spare-parts bays, with a modern layout, have been provided, and thousands of pounds' worth of A.E.C. spares are in stock. Full equipment for dealing with the maintenance and repair of all makes of commercial motor has been installed.
Among those attending the opening was Mr. Hollands, A.E.C. -service manager.
