S.I. MOTOR UNION
PETROL TAX PROTEST Press Association. INVERCARGILL, Friday. The South Island Motor Union met at Invercargill yesterday, when delegates from all affiliated associations were present. A heavy afternoon’s business was transacted and many matters important to South Island motorists were discussed. With regard to the allocation of the petrol tax, the following resolution was unanimously carried: That this representative meeting of South Island motorists’ bodies protests most emphatically against the refusal of the Government to recognise the principle of allocation between the two islands of the proceeds of the**petrol tax, on the same basis as provided in the Main Highways Act for the division of the revenue derived from the tyre tax and registration fees, and pledges itself to maintain the agitation until its just claims are satisfied.
This evening visiting delegates were taken to Oreti Beaeli. To-morrow they will go to Stewart Island.
