If you've noticed an error in this article please click here to report it so we can fix it.
IS a gully emptier largely employed I for emptying cesspools subject to the levy? This question, following a decision by one taxation authority to the affirmative, was taken up by the Association of Municipal Corporations with the Ministry of Transport. The vehicle concerned was used half the time for cesspool emptying and it was refused classification as a watering vehicle.
It was argued by the Association that a cesspool could be regarded as a gully, in which case the vehicle should be exempt from the levy. The Ministry have replied that they think it reasonable to accept this argument and are advising local authorities accordingly.
A LIGHTWEIGHT HYDRAULIC PULLER
WHEREVER practicable light alloys WY have been used in the construction of the Bretell hydraulic puller and tensioning device which has a pull of 10,000 lb. It weighs 44 lb. and is thus readily portable.
It has a piston stroke of 15 in. and with the piston retracted the device measures 2 ft. 6 in. overall. Such a piece of equipment should prove invaluable for the loosening and removal of tree stumps, for hedge grubbing and other agricultural purposes. The maker is A. G. Wild and Co.. Ltd., Sheffield.
