TRANSPORT LICENSING

WANGANUI CASES HEARD MISCELLANEOUS APPLICATIONS ‘‘l have no objection, but I shall have to inquire in Wellington as to the procedure and in the meantime decision is reserved,’’ said the No. 2 Transport Licensing Authority (Mr. J, P. O. Skoglund) when M. J. Springer an-'lied at a sitting in Wan ganui vesterday for a licence to carrv prsseneers from Waiouru to Wanganui twice a month. Mr. E. W. F. Gohns, who appeared in support of the application, said Springer was a Public Works Department contractor who came home twice a month and brought other workmen with him. These men were prepared to pay for the trip and the proposed return fare was 10s. It had been suggested that Springer make application for the licence, which would enable him to carry “V” plates. It was emphasised also that Springer was not making application for a taxi licence. It was also stated that if Springer were issued with “V” plates he would be given a safeguard which would enable him to take out the proper accident insurance policy. Other applications dealt with by the Authority were: Martin and Vernon, amendment to passenger licence granted, enabling reinstatement of 4.30 a.m. trip from Wanganui to Marton and return.
