MAY CHECK VISITORS NORTH. Reference wae made at the meeting of the Council of t!ic Auckland Automobile Association kit night to the fee of 30/ imposed upon motor-cara by the by-laws of the Waitemata County Council. Mr. A. Cleave said he had been stopped by a ranger, who informed him he must pay that fee for travelling over the Toads in the county with hie car. He said the new by-law included a provision for propelled vehicles being taxed. He did not think that unreasonable, but did object to any differentiation in the rates imposed on vehicles.
