held in Wellington: 1 “That there should be a clause previous to Clause A of the license fees including all kinds of commercial vehicles. irrespective of the gross weight. “That we adhere to the Pphcy laid down bv the deputation to the Minister on January 16, especially in connection with Clause 10, dealing with the amount of the license.
