PETROL LICENCES
PROCEDURE OF DEPARTMENT CRITICISED. PROTEST BY MOTOR TRADE. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day. A protest against the procedure adopted by the officers representing his department in connection with the recent cut in commercial petrol licences has been forwarded by the garage proprietors’ section of the New Zea-, land Retail Motor Trade Association to the Oil Fuel Controller. This claims that the procedure was “most unbusinesslike and led to considerable disorganisation and argument which could have been quite easily avoided.” ' “The motor trade and this association are at all times willing and anxious to co-operate with you in what we admit is a difficult task,” the garage proprietors state. “However, the motor trade is suffering very much as a result of petrol rationing and we do feel that our difficulties should not be needlessly increased. “We appreciate that there is a war on and that probably conditions outside the Dominion are such as make it prudent to institute the cuts. We make no complaint on this score, but we do ask that, for the future, some more satisfactory method is used, even when it is felt that quick action is necessary.”
