QPPOSIT1ON by five hauliers to shortterm applications by Flynn Bros. (Contractors), Ltd., resulted in one licence being refused at Manchester last week. Mr. J. Backhouse, for the applicants, said that they wanted a short-term B licence for two vehicles to carry solid fuel from dumps at New Hucknall and Bentinck to the Carrington, Agecroft and Chadderton power stations for Hargreaves (Lancashire), Ltd. A similar licence with identical conditions was requested for four vehicles (of 16 tons) to be hired,
Mr. M. Flynn, a director of the company, pointed out that they had been working for Hargreaves and did not want to deprive them of the facilities. A substantive application would soon be put in regarding the units, but the shortterm licences would tide them over for three months. Mr. D. Brookes, transport manager of Hargreaves (Lancashire), Ltd.. said that during a month Flynns carried 3,000 tons of coal for them to the three power stations mentioned.
Mr. A. Burton, one of the road objectors, stated that he was an experienced coal carrier and had 28 vehicles, five of which were standing idle. Until recently these had been taking 1,000 tons of coal a week to the factory of Brown and Poison, Ltd.. at Trafford Park.
This traffic had suddenly been transferred to rail, and now they had vehicles which were not fully utilized. They were quite capable of carrying coal in the power stations, and would willingly put these units at the disposal of Hargreaves. The witness told Mr. Backhouse that he had no figures to show the availability of these vehicles.
The North Western Deputy Licensing Authority, Mr. A. H. Jolliffe, said that as Hargreaves had had transport facilities from Flynn Bros. in the past, it was a pity to deprive them of these in the future, Be granted the short-term licence for their own units, but refused the one in respect of the hired vehicles.
A.E.C.s TO BE MADE IN THE ARGENTINE INDER an agreement between A.E.C.. Ltd., and SIAM Di Tella Automotores S.A., the latter concern are to manufacture A.E.C. passenger and goods vehicles under licence in the Argentine. SIAM Di Tella Automotores S.A. already make B.M.C. 11-litre vehicles and Lambretta scooters under licence and are a subsidiary of SIAM Di Tella Ltda., one of the largest industrial groups in the Argentine.
