THE PETROL ALLOWANCE
EXTRA MILLION GALLONS SOUGHT CONTROL ALLEGEDLY HINDERING WAR EFFORT [Pee United Peess Association.] AUCKLAND, September 9. A request for an additional monthly allowance of 1,000,000 gallons of petrol for private motoring will be made to the Government as the result of a decision made at a meeting organised by the Auckland Allied Motor Traders’ Association, and attended by about 150 representatives of all branches of the trade. It was also decided to inform the Prime Minister that the Government control measures over the motor and allied transport industries; and particularly over the administration of the petrol restrictions, were hindering New Zealand’s war effort. A further request will be made that the situation should be re-examined, consideration to bo given to factors so far overlooked because of the financial aspect, and that a directly affirmative or negative statement be made whether the legislation introduced as war emergency regulations will be abolished on the cessation of hostilities.
