ALLOCATION OF PETROL TAX.
UNITED PROTEST FAILING SATISFACTION.
Dunedjn, November 18, “Failing a satisfactory reply from the Government with regard to our demands that the petrol tax should be allocated on the same basis as the tyre tax. a public meeting will be held and a united protest made by the Motor Association. Chambers of Commerce and other interested bodies (including the Otago Expansion League) against the intolerable position,” said Mr Ansell, president of the South Island Motor Union. Mr Ansell added: "We have had many fights on our loading problems and are continually up against a brick wall. This latest act of the Government is probably the worst ever put across us by the present Government. We are determined not to tolerate it.
