MOTOR TAXATION.
EXPENDITURE ON ROADS. CANTERBURY MOVE. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, this day. As a first step in what is hoped will be a concerted effort to have motor taxation devoted wholly to highways purposes, the Canterbury Progress League called a conference thi* morning. "I believe that if a united effort throughout Xew Zealand was undertaken it would succeed," said Mr. F. Coop, the chairman. The move, he added, was not a political one. A report presented by the league stated that the grand total of all motor taxation in 1936-37, including customs and spirit taxes, was £5,340,000, of which only £2,756,000 had been used for highway purposesAll local bodies., members of Parliament and others interested are to be approached on the matter.
