MOTOR REGISTRATION.

THE ENGLISH SYSTEM. (Dy Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.} DUNEDIN. this day.' "When the Otago Motor Club last met tlie number plate system evoked a good deal of criticism, which extended incidentally to the attitude of the North Island motor associations in negativing the decision of the delegates who represented them in the recent conference to urge the Government to amend the system. The Otago C'lnl) supported the altitude of the conference, and, furthermore, urged that the English system of registration should ho adopted in place of the. present. "Since we last met." stated the president (Mr. A. E. Ansell) at the club's monthly meeting, '"some of the North Island associations have definitely gone back on the recommendations of their own delegates. I am not prepared to say much more about it at present," he added, "but there is n'ne aspect that is worthy of note. The Minister certainly looks for the united opinion of motorists, and if we don't progress towards that end more rapidly and satisfactorily than we are doing at present, then the question we will* have to consider is whether it would not be better in the future for the South Island associations to 'cut the painter' from the New Zealand organisation and work in unison as a South Island body. ,.
