STICKERS THAT DO NOT STICK

A.A. Chairman’s Complaint

With three-quarters of his ear registration sticker left he had no intention, on principle, of paying 1/- for a replacement costing the Dost and Telegraph Department a penny; in fact, he would welcome a case against: him, .said the council chairman. Mr. E. A. Butt, at the annual meeting last night ot toe Automobile Association (Wellington). A member: You might get stuck yourself —in jail. ... .. . , If any member was similarly situated and faced with prosecution, continued Mr. Batt, he felt the council would, have the” case defended on the members behalf; they had to know where they stood on this matter. r It was not. a sticky question , the tact was that the stickers would not: stick. As he understood tile regulations. when a sticker became unrecognizable the motor, ist was liable to a fine of £2O tor every duv the offence continued. In getting the stickers it: seemed that, the department ncccpted the lowest price at Hie cost of quality. He was certain that thousands of stickers were tailing o.t monthiv: they were supposed to last, a year. When the sticker became iinstuc.i the motorist had Io “pay a shilling for a sixpenny sticker that, cost a penny. All motorists who had observed the windscreens of those of their brethren who collected the A.A. membership stickers to show that they had been members for 10. 15 and 20 years, knew that a quality sticker stayed stuck. Those good stickers cost the association only 2id. each last year.
