OLD JUNK ON THE ROADS.
A very interesting little statement made by our worthy Minister of Transport, Mr. Sen)pic, appeared in your issue of the "Star" dated July IS. The Minister states that all old junk in the way of motor pars was to be put off the road. The working mail of to-day stints and saves £50 or £(i 0 to buy a second-hand car. He has no choice in the year of the model, because the • amount he can pa_v is the deciding factor. Xo w j comes the rather startling statement that all old cars are going to be put off the road. The authorities up till now have been only too pleased to take the annual registration fee for the same "old cars.'' Is not the old car at least one of the few luxuries a working man enjoys? The Labour people of Xew Zealand put this Government in with great hopes of getting better conditions for the working class, but if this is one of the Government's ideas of faMr play—well, I think that the thousands of old car owners in this country should unite in protest against this measure of injustice. OXE WHO VOTED LABOUR.
