GOVERNMENT CAR
PUBLIC SERVANTS' COMPLAINTS NOT FIT TO USE ON ROADS Representations to the Public Service Commissioner about the safety of Government motor cars are reported; in the Public Service Jourrial. The executive council of the Public Service Association, when interviewing the commissioner, said that in some cases officers were asked to drive cars for which a warrant of fitness would not be issued if the cars were privately owned, thus creating a grave danger. Several ca,ses had been quoted' where no warrant was in existence. The complaints applied to both departmental and Post and Telegraph cars, and came from. Rotorua, NeAV Plymouth, Kaikoura, Tolcanui and Invercargill. The commissioner informed the council that, so far as he knew, Government cars should have warrants of fitness, as in the case of private cars. The council decided to supply information on specific cases.
