DELEGATES COMPLAIN
o OIL FUEL LICENSE REFUSED) INCONVENIENCE TO GISBORNE REPRESENTATIVES The Gisborne' representatives on the Bay of Plenty and East Coast Herd Improvement Association expressed extreme annoyance at the attitude of the OiL Fuel Controller at Gisborne in refusing to grant them an extra license in order to attend the annual meeting of the Association at Whakatan'e on Friday. It was stated that the Controller had advised the delegates that iiiey could travel by service car, to do which would have meant spending three daj r s to attend. Travelling by car, they were able to complete the journey well within 24 hours. The Association considered that as members attending the meeting were working in the interests of dairy farming, and thus of the country in view of the Government's appeal for increased production, they should not be penalised in that way. There was a strong feeling that facilities should have been - more readilv granted.
