The' vehicles were working "every working day" carrying his own materials, and would continue to do so. From time to time, how ever, when he was removing scrap from demolished properties, he was asked to take "other things away. He was making the application to keep within the law.
Mr. F. Milton, who appeared for an objector, T. Donaldson, said that in view of the fact that he was disposing of some horses and carts he would not press the objection.
When Mr. Duncan asked the applicant if he was producing any evidence, Mr. Milton pointed out that the case was akin to the Lambert case. where the applicant had a business and was using the vehicles for his own business and for cartage.
Upon the applicant giving an under taking that he would submit a "certificate of disposal " in respect of three horses and carts, and would not increase his "fleet" of them in the future, the licence was granted.
