RENEWAL OF LICENCES REFUSED
TRANSPORT AUTHORITY'S RESERVED DECISION
In giving a reserved decision in the application of R. J. Cowan, and Cowan ana Sare, of Hokitika, for renewal of their goods service licences, the No. 3 Transport Licensing Authority (Mr T.. H. Langford) referred to the financial history of the two services and the part taken in their operations by parties other than the licensees. Clause 6 (2) (c) of the Transport (Goods) Order, 1936, had to be taken into account by any Authority dealing with applications for goods service licences he stated. ~ . , The clause required the applicant to prove his financial ability to carry on the service, and in the case of an existing service, that it had been carried on satisfactorily for a period. The evidence showed, said Mr Langford that neither of these conditions had been fulfilled and he was therefore bound to refuse both applications. In the application of the South Westland Transport Company, Ltd.. a decision was given refusing the application, on grounds similar to those referred to in the cases of R. J. Cowan and Cowan and Sare.
