PETROL RATIONS
SOME INCREASE FOR BUSINESS PURPOSES. PREMIER'S ANNOUNCEMENT. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day. The allowance of petrol to be made available this month for use in private motor-cars was officially announced on Saturday by the Prime Minister. Mr Fraser. He said that coupon No. 11 would be redeemable from March 1, and if petrol reserves were in a satisfactory position at the middle of the month, coupon No. 12 would be made available for the balance of the month. “Where petrol is essential for business purposes,” said Mr Fraser, “business car licences will be increased to bring them up to 50 per cent of their former issue. Other commercial licences will be dealt with by petrol advisory committees upon the presentation of a satisfactory case for an increase. “Future developments in the Pacific may at any time compel us to reduce these allowances,” Mr Fraser added. “The War Cabinet is keeping the petrol situation under constant review, and subject to the safeguarding of essential reserves will release whatever petrol can be made available. Defence, and essential industry, and production must receive primary consideration.”
