ACASE of considerable interest to agricultural hauliers was heard at Forfar, last week, when Mr. Alfred Wilkie, Woodville Feus, Arbroath,: asked for an extension .of his radius under a B licence, from the county of Angus to Perth, Aberdeen and Stirling. Objections were lodged by the L.M.S. and L.N.E. Railway companies.
For the applicant, Mr. R. W. Currie stated that Mr. Wilkie was a . smallholder and had two vehicles for the tra.nsport of livestock, One was under an A licence and the other under a B licence, the latter being restricted to Angus.
Most of his work was for conveyance of. -pedigree stock and sometimes two vehicles were needed to go to Perth, Aberdeen and Stirling, whereas only one could travel outside that radius. His client proposed to carry only bloodstock, which made the applica tion unusual. Farmers and others wished _their pedigree animals to be carried as quickly as possible, without risk. of injury.
c32 For the L.N.E.R., Mr. T. C. Gibson said that the company was not strenuously opposing the application in view of the fact that it was concerned with the carriage of only a certain type of animal.
For the L.M.S.R., Mr. D. K. Mackay said that the railway companies, provided special facilities for conveying this class of animal.
Mr. H. Riches, Licensing Authority. pointed out that the company also
charged special rates. • M. Mackay replied that he was to maintain his objection to the radius being extended to Stirling: Mr. Riches said that there was a finding of the Appeal Tribunal regard
ing a case affecting the L.M.S.R., in which it was stated " The type of• service with which the parties are con
cerned is the carriage of livestock from farmers to and from markets and sales. It is not open to question that it is of paramount importance to the farmer that his cattle should reach the market in time. Delay in arrival may lead to a great disadvantage and may entail severe loss."
An extension of the radius was granted, to cover Perth and Aberdeen.
