VUE have often pointed out to sugar-beet hauliers II' that they waste their own time by queueing up at the sugar factories_ Striking confirmation of this is embodied in a report that when the Selby factory opened its gates, for the first time this season, at 9 a.m. one morning, there was a queue of 90 lorries waiting to enter. That means that each of those vehicles had to wait an average of not less than three hours to be unloaded. THOSE concerns which, from time to time, are in the habit of tendering to local authorities, and they include vehicle manufacturers as well as haulage contrac...ors, should be caref al to comply strictly with the advertised conditions, which are now being adhered to more rigidly than has hitherto been customary. Out of 68 tenders for road materials submitted recently to a certain council, 29 were rejected because the tenderers had failed to observe those conditions.
