SAVING OF COUPONS
USE IN SECOND PERIOD (P.A.) WELLINGTON, Friday. Questions relating to the application of the rationing scheme were answered to-day by the controller, Mr. Thomas. He said that, although coupons were transferable as between members of a family, they were not transferable as between other individuals. Coupons unused at the end of the first six months would be negotiable in the second period. This would enable coupons to be saved for such purpose as a suit or costume. The question whether the system would apply to suits or costumes already ordered had not been determined finally, but was being considered. With regard to whether the system would apply to hotels and institutions for household linen, Mr. Thomas said these were collective consumers and would work under a special arrangement. They bought most of their requirements wholesale and it would be necessary for them to obtain special permits. A statement covering collective consumers would be issued later.
