A N application by Hugh Clelland and
Sons, Chryston, to increase their cement tanker fleet by five vehicles was partially granted by the Scottish Licensing Authority, Mr. W. F. Quin, last week at Glasgow. Mr. H. Clelland, managing director, gave evidence that his fleet was the only one of its type in Scotland, making hiring impossible. Large-scale construction, including two new steelworks, involved handling of 150 tons per day.
Granting four articulated vehicles, Mr. Quin said he would limit their use largely within the southern division of the Scottish traffic area.
