TOWN CARRYING
POSITION OF RAILWAYS DEPARTMENT APPLICATION FOR LICENCE DECLINED In view of statements made at a recent transport conference at Wellington that the Railways Road Services were not co-operating with other forms of road transport to effect coordination, and that they were .cutting too much into the town , carrying business, there will be interest in the fact that at a public sitting of the. No. 4 Transport Licensing Authority at Invercargill last Friday an application by the Minister of Railways for a town carrier’s licence was refused by the authority, Mr V. Raines. The authority expressed the opinion that the Railways Department should not compete with town carriers. He added that for the carriage of its own property, such as tarpaulins, a town carrier’s licence was not required.
