MOTOR VEHICLES ACT.
WORKS DEPARTMENT'S PART,
MISCONCEPTION CORRECTED,
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, this day. In <1 statement issued to-day, the Minister of Public Works, Hon. K. S. Williams, said it was noted that the taking over of the administration of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1024, by the Public Works Department' had led to the assumption, judging bv various newspaper articles, that the Department also proposed to take over the issue of,drivers' licenses, the collection of motor lorry fees and some of the other duties relating to motor vehicles at _ present devolving upon local authorities and their inspectors. "This is not the case, said the Minister, "and the only change from the former situation is that in future such motor vehicles as were previously attended .to by the Internal Affairs Department will now be attended to by the Public Works Department. The issue of licenses, etc., will still be the function of the Post Office."
