SPECIAL PETROL LICENCES
♦ DECEMBER ALLOCATION REDUCED [From Our Parliamentary Reporter.] WELLINGTON, December 3. The amount of petrol allocated for December to holders of special licences, such as insurance agents and commercial travellers, has been reduced by 20 per cent. The reduction was announced to-day by the Oil Fuel Controller (Mr G. L. Laurenson) when he was questioned on a report that all commercial licences had been reduced. Permanent licences for petrol for commercial vehicles had not been interfered with, Mr Laurenson replied. The licences were issued so that businesses could be conducted throughout the year, but in cases where cars would be laid up over the Christmas and New Year holidays, not being required for the special business purposes for which the extra petrol had been granted in other months, the petrol allocations were being reduced by 20 per cent.
