HEAVY TRAFFIC FEES
QUARTERLY PAYAI ENTS
,By Telegraph—Per Press Association.)
WELLINGTON, May 23. The Hon W. A. Vo itch, Minister of Transport, announced to-day that an Ordor-in-Couneil had' been passed, amending the heavy lorry regulations to provide for the payment of the heavy traffic fees quarterly, instead of annually. Representations in regard to the matter had been made by organisations representing carriers, service ears, taxi owners, and others as to the hardship suffered by having to find large sums of money at one time. The Government had given the representations careful and sympathetic consideration, and no doubt the opportunity of paying fees quarterly would be of considerable relief to the owners of motor vehicles. As already announced the general question of taxation is at present engaging the attention of the Government, but in view of the very far-reaching investigations necessary, it would be some little time before any final decision could be arrived at.
