not in future interfere when hauliers were late or did not arrive by carrying goods for other people in his C-licence vehicle. Otherwise, the consequences would be serious, Mr. J. R. Lindsay, NorthWestern Deputy Licensing Authority, said at Preston on Tuesday.
Mr. W. E. Howard, Clitheroe, a newcomer applying for a B licence, with conditions general goods within 50 miles of Clitheroe," admitted furniture removals with a tipper on a short-term
C licence. The British Transport Commission, Barnes and Tipping, Ltd., and H. C. Bennett, Clitheroe, objected.
Mr. E. Lumley, for the applicant, said he was an ex-haulage driver who started in business as a general dealer in March. He bought a tipper in April and was granted a short-term C licence pending the present application. Letters produced spoke of the need for another B-licence vehicle in Clitheroe to carry animal feeding stuff, parcels and so on. The area was also badly served for furniture removals.
Questioned by Mr. J. A. Dunkerley, for the private objectors, Mr. Howard said the allegations of illegality arose from the movement of furniture for a friend, which was done without charge. He denied that, when stopped by Mr. Tipping, he said his vehicle had been hired by the haulier who was doing the job. ' He had agreed to do the work only because .the vehicle had not arrived.
The application was refused.
