A Local Trucker
Seeks Permit From
Public Utility Com.
Lloyd S. Caldwell, Lancaster RS,
trucker, asked PUC permission for
hauling chocolate products and
similar manufactured items for the
Bachman Chocolate Manufacturing
Co., Mt. Joy, between Florin and
Reading.
Caldwell, who bought the truck-
ing business two years ago, mis-
takenly thought the firm had PUC
permission for the run, according
to testimony offered before Calvin
7. Spitler, examiner, at the court
Pouse,
Protests were offered on behalf
of the Keystone Express and Stor-
age Co. by Joseph R. Forrest, of
Columbia R1, and Motor Fyeight
Express Co. by W. G. Dinsmore,
500 E. King St. York.
Caldwell, who now hauls for the
Bachman firm between Florin and
Philadelphia, asked an amendment
to his present permit. He said
he recently signed an agreement
with the Bachman Co. to haul on
the Florin-Reading route at 20
cents a hundredweight. Harry S.
Stark, 307 W. Donegal St., Mount
Joy, appearing for Bachman, con-
firmed the agreement.
Caldwell bought the business two
years ago from Earl Good and was
told he had rights for the Florin
and Reading run, Stark said.
The protesting carriers said they
now have Florin and Reading
routes. They said their rate
would probably be 28 cents a
hundred weight.
