BECAUSE an applicant was transferring a vehicle from a C to a B licence he was not introducing another lorry. This was pointed out by the Northern Licensing Authority last week to Mr. F. J. McHugh, for British Railways, when a coal merchant, Mr. I. Griffiths,. of Calthwaite, Penrith, applied to carry bulk limestone for Messrs. Harfison's Limeworks, Muse°.
A letter of support from Messrs. Harrison's was produced, but Mr. McHugh considered that the firm should send a witness.
"My clients," he said, 'feet that at some stage a stand must be taken with reference to IVIeisrs. Harrison's, and more particularly as the tonnage of lime carried by the railways has decreased alarmingly in the past year."
Applicant was granted permission to carry bulk limestone within a 25-mile radius.
