Carrying Restriction Impossible in Northland
That practically all carriers had at times to break the 30 miles regulation in connection with the railways owing to the geography of the northern peninsula was contended by Mr R. K. Trimmer at the sitting of the No. 1 Licensing Authority at Whangarei on Wednesday afternoon. At no place was the peninsula more than 45 miles wide and it was impossible, with the railway running through the centre for an operator to avoid running contrary to the restriction. Mr Trimmer was appearing in support of an application for a motor goods service license between Mangawai and Auckland, objections to which were made by representatives of the Railway Department and Northern Steamship Company. The authority said he believed the boat service had a prior claim on the coastal districts. They had pioneered the service to districts such as Mangawai, which otherwise would not have been in existence. Decision was reserved.
