MOTOR UNION HEAD AND PETROL RATIONING
WELLINGTON, Jan. 16. "In spite of abnormal conditions of travel ereated by the' Christmas holiday season, the system of petrol distribution earried out tlirough the resellers at the request of tlife Minister of Rupply, has worked very satisfactorily and left 110 reason to doubt that, with traffic returning to norma/ the results anticipated by the Mini.ster.would .be achieved, " said M.r, IL W. Roydhouse, president of tlie Nortli Lsland (X.Z.) Motor ' Union, in a statenient today. "Tlie success of tlie iationing system in vogue makes tlie reintroduction of wartime raitoning
; by coupon unneceissary, though appar- , ently an effort is being made in some ' quarters to -diseredit the present system 111 t'avour of the more cumbersome coupon niethod. Motorists are cooper- ( ating in assisting the Minister and tlie ALd to Britain committee in their efr'orts and with the continued eoopera- . tion of the resellers who seek to malte ; the system worlc as satisfactorily as it . is doing, there is -no necessity in my opinion, to reintroduce coupons. The Minister is assured of the fullest cooperation of private motorists."
