respect of which no greater license fee would have
been payable, and if in respect of the gross weight
of tractor, trailer, and load no greater license fee
would have been payable had the original license
been granted in respect of such tractor and the other
trailer, then no other license fee shall be payable and
no further license shall be required.

(b) If such other trailer is fitted with tires of a kind in respect
of which a greater license fee would have been payable,
or if in respect of the gross weight of such tractor,
trailer, and load a greater license fee would have been
payable had the original license been granted in respect
of such tractor and the other trailer, then a further
license shall be obtained in accordance with the
provisions of this regulation, and the fee payable
for such further license shall be the amount by which
the license fee payable under an original license
granted in respect of such tractor and the other
trailer exceeds the license fee actually paid.

(11) If during the continuance of a license any heavy motor-

payment to a licensing authority of the difference between the
fee already paid and the fee that would in such event have
been payable, and until endorsement on the license under the
