Two More Scottish Steel Applications

r0 more steel applications were heard in Glasgow on Tuesday when John Stamper and Co. (Haulage) Ltd. asked for six artics of 57 tons to be acquired on A licence for "metal and metal finished products, mainly for Colvilles Ltd. in Gt. Britain", and Road Services (Forth) asked for six artics also on A licence for "steel, mainly coils, within Gt. Britain, mainly for Colvilles ". British Railways and British Road Services objected to both applications, on which decisions were reserved.
Mr. Robert Rae, assistant transport manager of Colvilles, said that the railways and his company had agreed that an additional 33 coil carriers and six long trailers were required immediately for Colvilles" traffic. B.R.S. was not a party to this arrangement, said Mr. J. B. S. Buchanan, appearing for B.R.S. Mr. Rae said that short-term, coil-carrying vehicles had helped very substantially but there were still occasions when coil had to travel on flats.
Mr. Ludovick Garden, divisional traffic officer, Scotland, for B.R.S., said they were not interested in Colvilles' traffic at
the present level of rates except as return traffic. What he feared was that 100 coil carriers of some 1,600-ton carrying capacity could result in 2,500 tons of extra carrying capacity seeking return loads.
He agreed that some additional availability might be necessary but thought the British Railways/Colvilles proposals were too generous. Substitution might be an acceptable solution as an alternative to a new grant, he added.
Mr. W. F. Quin, the Scottish Licensing Authority, said that substitut:on must depend on vehicle availability. Each case would be considered on its merits.
Inverdon Bid Fails: The Scottish deputy Licensing Authority has refused the application (originally made in March) by Inverdon Transport Co. Ltd. to switch two vehicles and containers from Contract A to A licence, to carry frozen meat and foodstuffs to London, N. Midlands, West and S.F. England and S. Wales. The deputy LA. said the case rested on the occasions when two vehicles had to go north to slaughterhouses for different customers and returned to Aberdeen to complete their loads before going south. He thought the problem could be eased by re-arrangement of existing A-licensed vehicles.
