"GONE FLAT"
REGISTRATION OF CARS
"Registration and licensing have gone flat so far this year," said an official at the combined Post Office and Traffic Office Bureau at the Concert Chamber today. The figures ne gave showed that the business put through so far is only half that for the same days ■ last' year. There were, he thought, two reasons for "he reluctance of motorists to register and to take out their 1941-1942 driving licences. First was the uncertainty over petrol allowances after June and July, and, secondly, and in his opinion of less weight, was the decision of car owners to keep their machines off the roads for a month, so that they would pay the normal year's fees and not fees for the thirteen months of the 1941-42 period. Up till the closing hour yesterday only 2331 drivers' licences had been issued.
