VEHICLES U3ING GAS FTJEL
Wellington, September 19. Regulations gazetted to-day repeal the provisions of the Motor Vehicles Amendment Act requiring the owners of vehicles propelled hy producer gas, coal gas or any other approved substitute fuels to pay mileage tax. In future no such tax will be payable. Operators of the vehicles concerned are, however, expected to fumish 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 of a ton in respect to the 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 of a vehicle are exceeded, written permission may be given by the Commissioner of Transport, the Hon. R. Semple, for the vehicle to operate with the increased dimensions.
