PETROL-TAX REVENUE
AVAILABLE FROM APRIL 1 GOOD NEWS FOR COUNTIES (From Our Own Correspondent.) WHANGAREI, To-day. An important telegram from the Main Highways Board was received to-day by the clerk of the Whangarei County Council in response to the council’s inquiry as to when the Petrol Tax revenue will be available. The telegram reads: “Petrol tax in th© shape of maintenance will be available from the date of the declaration of the same, which should be not later than April 1. For the purposes of your estimates you can assume that the subsidy will be available on additional main highways from April 1.” The clerk, Mr. H. C. Hemphill, said that it was gratifying to have this information released, as it would permit county councils to know where they are in preparing estimates and framing county main roading policies for the ensuing year.
