NO MILEAGE TAX TO BE PAID
(United Press Association) WELLINGTON, September 19. Regulations Gazetted today repeal the provisions of the Motor-Vehicles Amendment Act requiring owners of vehicles propelled by producer gas, coal gas or other approved substitute fuels to pay a mileage tax. In future no such tax will be payable. The operators of the vehicles concerned are, however, expected to furnish at the usual time for this month a return of mileage up to September 19. .Under the new regulations heavy vehicles not driven by petrol are allowed an extra quarter ton for laden or unladen weights permitted on classified and unclassified roads. If by reason of the fitting of any apparatus for using substitute fuels the statutory dimensional limitations bt the vehicle are exceeded, written permission may be given by the Commissioner of Transport (Mr G. L. Laurenson) for a vehicle to operate with the increased dimensions.
