" T.T. CATTLE, SO LONGER HAULS REQUIRED" EtECAUSE Wiltshire had now turned completely to attested cattle, livestock haulage for longer distances was required, Mr. S. W. Nelson, Western Licensing Authority, was told at Bristol last week. Mr. Lionel Pike, a director of L. Pike, Ltd., Wootton Bassett (Wilts), said there was a large movement of nonattested stock into other counties. He asked for the radius of his B-licence vehicle to be increased to 200 miles.
Supporting evidence was given by Mr. H. Latham, of Dodds, Blackburn, Ltd., Cheshire livestock dealers. He said he attended Gloucester markets and bad found that railway facilities were not always convenient or suitable.
For the British Transport Commission, Mr. L. Timmins said that as Pike's activities had now been fully defined he would not press the objection. The application was granted.
