• Rather than restrict the applicant's choice of customer, the Metropolitan deputy LA, Mr. W. G. Levitt, granted a B licence application made by Mr. E. H. Enever in respect of a smaller vehicle than that applied for. The application, which was heard last week, attracted two objectors.
Mr. W. Crocker, for the applicant, said it had been decided to amend the application: since the application had been published, Mr. Enever had sold the vehicle which at that time he had possessed. He would, therefore, be applying in respect of one vehicle only and that to carry builders' requisites and builders' rubbish within 20 miles.
Mr. G. Surridge, director of Pegasus Shopfitters and Builders Ltd., said at limes it was very difficult to get hauliers to remove small loads of rubbish especially when a particular day was named_ He estimated that he would be able to give Mr. Enever an average of three days' work a week throughout the coming year.
Miss E. Havers, for an objector. asked Mr. Surridge whether he thought it would be economical for Mr. Enever to collect such small loads on a six-wheeled vehicle. Mr. Surridge claimed that he would not pay per ton but per vehicle.
Mr. Levitt stipulated that the weight of the new vehicle should be 4+ tons.
