PRODUCER GAS.
MILEAGE TAX ABOLISHED. WELLINGTON, Thursday. Regulations gazetted to-day repeal the provisions in the Motor Vehicles Amendment Act requiring owners of vehicles propelled by producer gas, coal gas or other approved substitute fuels to pay mileage tax. In future *io such tax will be payable. Operators of the vehicles concerned are, however, expected to furnish at the usual time for this month a return of mileage up to September 19. Under the new regulations, heavy veh:. '.ce not driven by petrol are allowed an extra quarter of a ton in respect to laden or unladen weights permitted on classified and unclassified roads. If by reason of the fitting of any appa-j ratus for using substitute fuels the | statutory dimensional limitations of a vehicle are exceeded, written permission may be given by the Commissioner of Transport for the vehicle to operate with the increased dimensions.—(Press Assn.)
