PETROL RESTRICTIONS
ANOTHER PROTEST MEETING EXISTENCE OF TRADE THREATENED [Per United Press Association.] . MASTERTON, September 12. The serious effect of the petrol restrictions on the motor trade and those employed in it, was emphasised at a large meeting of engineers, garage, and service station employees, embracing all parts of Wairarapa. It was contended that, in the light of the facts, the restrictions were not warranted. It was decided to present a petition and to forward the following motion to the Prime Minister: — “ That this meeting of motor trado employees, representing all branches of tho retail motor industry in Wairarapa district, strongly urges the Government to give immediate attention to the matter of increasing and stabilising the present petrol ration to private and commercial users. While realising that some measure of conservation is necessary, we would point out that our livelihood, and that of thousands of New Zealand workers and their families, depend on an adequate supply of petrol and the continued existence of the motor trade in general.”
