X DDRESSING the Transport Tribunal /-1 Iasi week. Mr. K._ Schiemann referred to something of a war between rival hauliers at .Spalding ''. He represente(l the respondents, Machin's. Trans. port (Surfleet) Ltd. and -Parkers iSurfieet) Ltd.. and he was replying to submissions made by Mr. J. Langharn. for Grounds Transport Ltd.. appealing ..against a decision of the Eastern .deputy Licensing Authority IT/re (otntnercial • Motor. October 8). The Tribunal preserved their. decision_ Mr. Schiemann .said. that applicants for additional vehicles must show that they could not carry traffic on offer and that their competitors could not do so either. The customers' letters submitted in support of grounds were of singularly little value---all customers wanted more transport, he declared. because they had everything to gain .from it.

Continuing, Mr. Schiemann said that Grounds Transport would have been in less difficulty if they had dropped traffic which was outside their normal user. They worked as a sub-contractor for BRS on steel and brick haulage, and the miscellaneous figures produced might hide similar week. " My shirt is agricultural produce to some extent," said Mr. Sehiemann. "looked at from one aspect". Was pulp carried between factories. or manure; agricultural produce? Should agricultural machinery be included in agricultural produce and requisites?

The short-term licences in question were appropriate to seasonal flower traffic, submitted Mr. Schiemann.
