MOTOR TRAFFIC.
main highway policy. GOVERNMENT GOING TO MEET COMPETITION. (By Telegraph—Special to the Star.) WELLINGTON, July 16. The Minister of Public Works, discussing the main highway policy with a deputation of Otago members to-day, referred to the effect of the highways policy in remedying the anomaly that motor transport used a track for which it did not pay, while competing with the railways, which had to maintain their own track. If Parliament could get the Motor Vehicles Bill through in some shape this session it would even up things, but he was not relying entirely on this. “We have important proposals to put into operation in dealing. with road competition. We are going out to meet the motor competition and take their business awav from them, and they might just as well know it.”
