Suggested Penalties For Car Conversion
HAWERA, Sept. 16. "The increase in car conversions has been going on too long," said the pre8ident, Mr. W. H. Brown (Manawatu) when the annual confereco of the North Island Motor Eni°n Hawera yesterday decided to recommend suggestions brought forward by a subcommitee on car conversions to the Minister of Justiee in dealing with offepders. In the report of the sub-committee, Mr. F. G. Farrell (Auckland) raeommended: (a), a minimum penalty- for car conversion, except in the case of a first offender; (b), that a convicted person be compelled to make good any damage caused in the manner of a flne; (c), that a convieted porson be prohibited from holding a liceBSe fqr. a period of two years. Mu Earreff said the sub-committee was aware that the vast majoirty of offenders who came before the Court.s had a long list of previous convictions, alsq if .the offender was Ordered to pay damages, he might not do it, but if this was ordered in the form of a line a refuphl would amount to contempt-of Cdurt. |
