I Tuesday at Aberdeen the Scottish Jeputy Licensing Authority refused .pplication by Car Transport Serof Stonchaven for an additional near transporter unit and trailer, a n flat transporter and a 4-ton drawtrailer for the carriage of vehicles n Scotland. British Railways and ih Road Services were the objectors. was stated that the existing trans operated by the company was run r subcontract to Motor Vehicles :ction Ltd. between 1Bathgate and h East Scotland with Vauxhall cars S.M.T. depots. Mr. N. Mitchell, L's Aberdeen sales manager, said cw Vauxhall baby car could mean a rer cent jump in business and a direcf Motor Vehicles Collection said the
increase expected would be sunicient to require both B.R.S. and Car Transport Service. Evidence was given that nine B.R.S. transporters at Linwood had lately been engaged only intermittently on subcontract work and Mr. A. McKendrick, for B.R.S., thought a grant would definitely result in excess facilities.
The deputy Authority. Mr. A. B. Birnic, said he had come to the conclusion that the application was premature. He had heard a lot about future requirements, which he thought were on the optimistic side: there might well he an increase in traffic but he had no reason to believe that present facilities would not be sufficient to cope with it.
