MOTOR TAXATION.
WHAT USERS HAVE PAID. According to figures supplied by Mr. M. H. Wynyard, motorists’ representative on the Main Highways Board, the amounts contributed by the motor users of New Zealand towards road funds, taking the year
ending March 31 last, are as under:— £. Tyre duty 225,712 License and registration fees 237,000 Heavy traffic fees (estimated) 250,000 Total 715,712 Nearly' three-quarters of a million! Over £5 for every owner of a motor vehicle in the Dominion! Here is the strongest possible argument in favour of motorists joining up with the automobile association, which are doing their utmost to ensure that this vast sum of money shall be spent on road improvements, and not hoarded up or diverted to other uses.
