PETROL SALES

PROPOSED NEW CONDITIONS. MORE FOR CASH PAYMENT. Although the Government has lifted in part the first restrictions placed on petrol supplies by allowing private users 10 gallons per month on a coupon system, the oil companies are apparently tightening up on the sale of bulk supplies to garage and resellers. It is understood that petrol resellers, throughout New Zealand have been notified from the oil companies that payment for supplies would have to be made every Wednesday. Originally payment was made by resellers on the 20th of every month and then later only fortnightly terms were granted, payment having to be made twice every month. The new terms are weekly and, according to a suggestion offered to a “Times-Age” representative by one large reseller, might mean that petrol would shortly be sold .only for cash, except in special cases. There is to be a meeting of the Wairarapa garage proprietors shortly following on the annual conference in Christchurch next week of Dominion Garage Proprietors, when this question of retail cash trading will almost certainly be discussed. Until then, so far as can be gathered, no alteration in the usual terms to the public is contemplated, but after that meeting, a new “cash only” policy may be adopted. not only in the Wairarapa, but throughout the Dominion.
