to the Scottish Licensing Authority for a B licence to operate two vehicles in the Dundee, Forfar and Kirriemuir area's. A service similar to that which the applicant, Mr. W. Sturrock, intended to provide, had been discontinued by the R.FLE. on June 30, on the ground that existing facilities were sufficient.
The R.H.E.. the Railway Executive and four local operators opposed the application. They stated that business in the area was quieter because of the granting of a large number of C licences. .

Decision was reserved.
