TRANSPORT IN CANTERBURY

GOODS AND PASSENGER LICENCES

DECISIONS AT SITTING OF AUTHORITY

Four applications amounting to what counsel described as “a rearrangement of the family holdings” in goods and passenger service licences, came before the No. 3 Transport Licensing Authority (Mr V. Raines) yesterday. The parties concerned were Harris Motors (Tai Tapu), Patricia Daphne Harris, William Lyall Harris, sen., and William Lyall Harris, jun., and the applications dealt with transfers of existing licences among the parties. Counsel for the parties (Mr E. B. E. Taylor) said no extension of the existing licences was contemplated. Mr Raines reserved his decision. There seemed no objection to granting the applications, but time was needed tb make out the transfers.

Other applications were granted as follows:—Wardrops Fibrous Plaster, Ltd., 32 Moorhouse avenue, uplift of suspension and renewal of continuous goods service licence, for licensee’s own fibrous plaster only. R. M. Moynihan, 177 Peterborough street, uplift of suspension and renewal of goods licence in the Cheviot and Kaikoura Counties (the latter including the East Coast riding, to carry material for the Public Works Department).
