." You are ii young man who intends to get on," he told the applicant, Mr. S. R. Travell, Tytherington Falfield, Glos, "but I have to decide this application in accordance with the evidence and the guidance handed down by the Tribunal. I think the first defect in your applitation is that it is made too soon after your present contract ".
The application, for a tipper to carry road making materials, tarmacadam, sand and shingle within 100 miles was opposed by the British Transport Corn' mission and a number of independent hauliers.
Mr. Travel', who was given a contract for an A licence in May, 1962, submitted a statement showing earnings of £1,274 in four, months from May to September.
