THE PETROL TAX
Reallocation Not Approved
The report of the special committee on motor taxation issued by the Municipal Association of New Zealand was before the North Island Motor Union at its half-yearly meeting iu Wellington yesterday, the co-operation of the union being sought to have the petrol tax reallocated between municipalities and the Consolidated Fund.
Lack of comment by the union might be taken as acquiescence in the proposal, said Mr. G. W. Hutchinson. “This thing is very dangerous,” he added. “The fund has already been raided by the Government and now some of these municipalities are attempting to join the raiders and divert tiiis tax from its original purpose.” A motion that the union disagreed with the report and was not prepared to support any reallocation of the petrol tax was carried.
