APPLY1NG to enter general haulage by switching four contract-A vehicles to B licence, the Clifton Garage, Clifton, Manchester, had their case adjourned for a second time at Manchester, East week. Mr. G. Duncan, acting North Western Deputy Licensing Authority, said a grant could not be made without proper evidence of need.
Mr. F. Anderson, a partner, said the vehicles worked for Val de Travers Asphalt, Ltd., and Asphaltic Roadways, Ltd., for whom it was desired to carry on the B licence within a radius of 100 miles.
After Mr. J. Booth, for the British Transport Commission, had submitted that the carriage of road asphalt and mastic blocks within 100 miles was a substantial application, and their objection would be pressed, Mr. Anderson pointed out that he was already doing the work. All he wanted was to be able to interchange the vehicles when one or other of the companies was slack.
Adjourning the application, Mr. Duncan said newcomers could enter haulage only if they complied with the rules. It was virtually impossible to prove need without witnesses.
