Transport Applications Granted

I Urban and secondary in- ' dustry interests were involved, said the No. 9 Transport Licensing Authority (Mr J. S. Haywood) yesterday when granting an application by A. R. Guthrey and Company. Ltd., for amendment of a continuous goods-service licence by the addition of three vehicles. The existing fleet in Christchurch was not sufficient to handie the work available, Mr A. R. Guthrey told the Authority. His firm, which had 43 effective vehicles, had had to employ outside carriers, and have its drivers work excessive overtime to handle the work. The Christchurch Carriers’ ■Association was represented by Mr J. J. B. Connor. The application of Tai Tapu Transport, Ltd., for the addition to a continuous goodsservice licence of one vehicle for seasonal work was granted, as was that by the Central Carrying Company, Ltd., for the addition to a continuous goods-service licence of one vehicle. Both applicants were represented by Mr J. A. Bretherton, and the Christchurch Carriers’ Association by Mr Connor. ’An application by E. H. Boyce and Company, Ltd. (Mr H. W. Hunter), for the transfer of a continuous goodsservice licence’ from Edwin Henry Boyce and an amendment of tlie same licence to allow the addition of two vehicles was granted. Also granted was an appli-

cation for the. transfer of a continuous goods-service licence from Eric Clifford Hughey to Brian George Kinloch. Mr A, Hearn represented the purchaser. Mr B. S. McLaughlin. the vendor, and Mr Connor, the Christchurch branch of the New Zealand Road Transport Alliance. On the recommendation of Mr D. R. Murray, representing the Commissioner of Transport, the Authority granted an application for revocation of the continuous goods-service licence of Shingle Supplies, Ltd., which is going into liquidation, and the continuous goods-service licence of the Tilbury Forwarding Company, Ltd., which has disposed of its business. The Authority also granted an application by McFarlane Freighters, Ltd., for deletion of the description of class goods described in a continuous goods-service licence held by the firm as “consigned to or by the McFarlane Trading Company, Ltd., Christchurch.” This amendment will allow the applicant firm to transport bananas and oranges from Lyttelton to fruit markets other than that of the parent company. Mr Bretherton represented the applicant company, and Mr Connor the Christchurch Carriers’ Association.
