PETROL TAX ALLOCATION
SOUTH ISLAND’S SHARE PRIME MINISTER’S PROMISE Press Association CHRISTCHURCH, To-day. The executive of the Canterbury Progress League last evening decided to support the action of the Otago Expansion League in bringing pressure to bear on the Government with a view to ensuring that the South Island gets a fair and equitable share of the petrol tax. Mr. F. W. Freeman said that the question would be fully discussed at the quarterly meeting of the South Island Motor Union at Invercargill. Mr. C. Macginness said that since the Prime Minister had stated that he had no intention of robbing the South Island of its fair share of the petrol tax, he should have no objection to putting it down in black and white. He thought that the revenue from all sources of motorists’ taxation should be allocated according to the number of vehicles In a district.
