' ' Wteii the new system of oil fuel ratiouing beooiues opcrative froni June 1 next, it will ]>e necessary for motor vehiele users who require retreads to produce to retreaders,' the oil fuei lieeuces for May, ' ' said Hon. 1). G. Sullivan, i 11 a press statenient. "This will be the metliod used for detcrminiiig the nualification for either "A" or "B''

grade qualities of camelback. Those vehiele owners wlio possess oil fuel licences wliicli were renewed each niontli and wliich iiormally would hayc been surrendered, should retain them in order that they can be shown to their retreader as evidence for the determinatiou of the qualilieatioii for retreads. ' in those instanees where new applica- | tions are made bv persons not liitherto 1 in possession of oil fuel licences, they ' should mahe direet application to the j Chief Postmaster Or Postniaster of the 1 office where the oil fuel records are held. It will be necessary first to obtain and complete a recapping and retreacling certilicate from their retreader in support of the application. This proc.edure will also apply to any special licence holders who may have surrendered a May licence. Ketreads of "A" j grade quality will be issued where it is ' established that the applicant is eui gaged ou ditties whicli, under the previj ous svstem of ratiouing, would have j consumed twenty gallous of oil fuel each montli, and in the case of " B ' { grade, four gallons montlily. I have J every confideuce that mutual eooperation between the retreaders and vehiele J users will result in the effective imple- ! mentation of this alteration in retread1 ing control. i The assurance is also given that j directly sufficient supplies of materials , are available in New Zealand, retreaaj ing controls will be removed completely . 1 TJnless something untoward occurs, this i should take place in the very neax ; future.
