Mr. Gill wished to carry food, newspapers and laundry daily from Inverness. and was supported by many traders and businessmen from the area he intended to serve.
Mr. Campbell, who currently operated" to the district, said that it was impossible for a daily service to pay. He was, however, prepared to see if he could operate more frequently, although he did not wish to run uneconomically.
If the application succeeded, he would no longer deliver newspapers from the railhead at Kyle of Lochalsh. This work earned him £100 a year.
The witnesses told the Authority that Mr. Campbell's services were too infrequent, they wanted a daily service such as the applicant's.
The licence was granted. Mr. Robertson. said that a grant should improve local amenities.
