The new‘provisions come into operation on the Ist. June next. After that date any person running a motortruck carrying goods for; hire or, reward,over 5 miles or more of main or secondary highway outside an exempted area will require a Goods Service License. Operators who have applied for licenses by. the. Ist. June will be entitled to carry on until their applications are dealt with. Those who do not apply by the Ist. June will be subject to heavy penalties if they run far 5 miles or more along Highways outside exempted areas after that date. Jst is important . therefore that all carriers who have not already done so should forward their applications to the, Commissioner of Transport before the Ist. June. The necessary forms of application are obtainable at any office of the Public Works Department or from the Commissioner of Transport, Wellington. TKMPORARY LICENSES. A temporary license will be required in the case of special trips by unlicensed operators and trips by those Who have applied far Continuous Licenses but wish to take goods outside tile area or route shown in their applications as the normal .sphere of their operations.
