PETROL ECONOMY
APPEAL BY MINISTER TO FARMERS AND OTHER USERS. SOME INEVITABLE DELAYS. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day. Slating that the Government was doing everything in its power to equalise the sacrifice entailed by the thirty per cent overall reduction in petrol consumption, the Minister of Industries and Commerce (Mr Sullivan) issues an appeal to farmers and commercial users to be reasonable in their applications and to remember that the restrictions are imposed at the request of the British Government for war purposes, and not for reasons of New Zealand s internal, economy.
It is essential, the Minister states, that advisory committees should consider every application fully and he appeals to applicants not to be impatient regarding what they might feel to be unnecessary delays. Many of the amounts asked for were far beyond the normal requirements of the , applicants, and as a result all applications had to be examined in considerable detail. Co-operation with the committees and district controllers would not only help in the conservation of petrol, but would vitally assist New Zealand in its wav efforts.
