TWO HIGHWAYS BOARDS
SOUTHERN MOTORISTS’ NEEDS Press Association CHRISTCHURCH, Sunday. The South Island Motor Union carried the following resolution: “That owing to the necessity for the Highways Board having a closer knowledge of local district conditions and a better understanding of local district problems than is possible at present, the time is ripe for the establishment of separate boards for the North and South Islands.” It was generally agreed by delegates that if the South Island could not get a board of its own at least South Island motorists should get an extra representative on the present board. It was decided to prepare a questionnaire for Parliamentary candidates on th® subject. Referring to the Highways Boaid and petrol tax, the president of the Motor Union, Mr. A. E. Ansell, said they had had a big fight over the petrol tax, but the Prime Minister had promised that the tax would be allocated in proportion to the number of vehicles in each island.
