NO REFUND LIKELY
( Special to "Post")
MINISTER SAYS NO EASE FROM PETROL TAXATION.
Wellington, Friday. "There is little ikelihood of any amendment being introduced in Parliament this session to the Motor Spirits Taxation Act in the direction of providing for a refund of the tax on motor spirits used in road and street construction and maintenance," says the Hon. C. E. Macmillan, actingMinister of Public Works, in replying to a remit from the Counties' Association in the subject. "Tha actual amount of money involved in the proposal must be very small and hardly such as to justify fresh legislation. I may say that when the Act was first being drawn the question of making the tax universal, with no exemptions, was very seriously considered, and I doubt whether the benefits to the rstricted number of taxpayers who have obtained the refunds have justified the expense as ir.curred by the Government.
