WESTPORT TIMBER CARTAGE
Two Applications Dismissed
Two applications by Westport road transport operators. Detlef Peter Mumrn and Edwin James, seeking relief from the railways restrictions between Seddonville and Inangahua Junction have been dismissed by the Not 8 Transport Licensing Authority <Mr J. S. Haywood) in reserved decisions. “In my view, the New Zealand Railways, in creating a local rate, has solved the problem of road and rail transport in this case, provided there is a sale for sawn timber in the Neison district,” the authority said. Of James’s application, he said it was for a new continuous goods service licence for the carriage of timber to the Nelson district. The Railways Department provided a service vita) to the survival of Buller, carrying sawn timber to places much further away than the applicant proposed.” Mumm's application arose from James's, the authority said.
