WHEN no haulier objectors appeared TV before Mr. S. W. Nelson, Western Licensing Authority, on. Monday to oppose an application by Mr. D. Chantler, Frome, for a B licence for a vehicle to carry roadstone and tarmacadam within 100 miles, Mr. A. W. Balne, for the railways, said that this. mightbe because they had been discouraged by past decisions of the Authority in similar cases. Mr. Nelson: " If the objectors had been dissatisfied • with my previous decisions, they could have appealed against them." Mr. T. D. Corpe, for the applicant, said that he was a newcomer. Letters of support should, he submitted, be taken into account, bearing in mind that quarries had sent representatives to give evidence in other applications. Mr. Balne described the application as the "most poverty-stricken" he had ever_ heard. The railways were not concerned with the movement of hot tarmacadam, but were vitally interested in dry stone.
The case was adjourned for the production of witnesses.
FARMERS WILL BE CHARGED
AWARNING that cases of misuse of farmers' goods-vehicle licences would be brought to the courls was given before Pershore magistrates last week by Mr. W. H. Flexman, deputy licences officer: Worcester. A farmer was prosecuted and fined £2 for using a lorry for a purpose for which a higher rate of tax was chargeable, and for carrying goods without a proper licence. Defendant pleaded not guilty.
£200,000 TO END DANGER
WORK will begin shortly on a £200,000 VT diversion on the East of SnaithSunderland trunk road, south of Ryhope, Durham. The diversion will be 1,000 yd. long and will pass beneath a railway line. At present the road is dangerous because of a narrow railway bridge with blind approaches.
