SUPPLY DIFFICULTY
PETROL FOR WEST COAST Buller transport operators, storage depot agents and petrol resellers interviewed the Commissioner of Transport, Mr. G. L. Laurenson, with reference to the marketing of petrol in this district. The oil companies recently notified resellers thdt their depots in Westport would be closed as from August 27 and it would then be necessary for thefn to purchase petrol at main centres and make, their own airangements for transporting supplies to -Westport. - ' Mr. Laurenson said the oil companies would not be allowed to adopt that attitude. They would be required to market petrol in. Westport as in the past, unless the present storage dfioot agents formed a company of their owhi to undertake marketing and ft stribution. Mr. Laurenson said the present method of transporting petrol by road to Westport would have to cease, owing to the necessity to conserve rubber and petrol.
