AN objection by the British Transport Commission was unsuccessful at Chester, on Tuesday, when Williams Bros., Queensferry, applied for a collection and delivery vehicle to serve their long-distance fleet. Williams wanted the B-licence conditions to cover work
mainly within a 25-miles radius," but at the suggestion of Mr. J. R. Lindsay, North Western Deputy Licensing Authority, the word 'mainly" was deleted.
Mr. E. Williams, a partner, said they operated in a country district, and wanted the vehicle to carry small consignments. A 25-mile radius was not unreasonable in these circumstances.
For the B.T.C., Mr. G. H. P. Beames claimed that there was insufficient evidence for a grant. The B.T.C. feared abstraction would be caused by the new vehicle.
