The War and Light Motorvans.

The Editor, THE COMMERCIAL MOTOR.

[1391] Sir,—The shortage of and high prices ruling for horses have resulted in unprecedented demands for light mptorvans dunng the past twelve months. The changing conditions of town and country transport have in this connection resulted in the establishment of a Light Van Section of the Commercial Motor Users Association (Inc.). Traders are increasingly effecting delivery by such light motorvans, instead of by cycle-carriers or one-horse vans. They can obtain delivery' of a van to carry a net load of seven hundredweight by paving down less than £30a factor which is contributing very largely to the extension of user. The. General Committee of the C.M.U.A. has now defined a light van. as "any commercial motor with pneumatic tires on all wheels," and has resolved to admit owners of one such vehicle at half the entrance fee and half the annual subscription which are applicable to owners of larger and heavier machines. Full information can be obtained from the undersigned.--Yours faithfully, Sec., Commercial Motor t sers Association. 83, Pall Mall, London, S.W.
