HALFPENNY A GALLON
Regulations were gazetted yesterday reducing the price of standard grade motor-spirit by id a gallon.
The Minister of Industries and Commerce (the Hon. D. G.

"This position has now arrived," added the Minister, "and in accordance with the undertaking then given prices are now being reduced."
TWO MONTHS' RATION,
An increase in the petrol allowance of 25 per cent., operative from today, was announced on October 23 by Mr. Sullivan. Five coupons, numbers 12, 13, 14, 15, and 16, will be available during November and December, and any one of these coupons may be used at any time during the two months.
