"INCONSISTENCIES"
SOLDIERS' LICENSES BETTER TREATMENT URGED (P.A.) CHRISTCHURCH, Friday. Inconsistencies in the handling of soldiers applications for petrol licenses when on final leave were alleged by Otago representatives at ?\ e n £ ual roeetine of the South Island Motor Union. Members urged that soldiers on final leave should be • treated more liberally.
Official instructions had been sent to oil fuel controllers in each centre for dealing with the issue of petrol to soldiers on leave, said Mr. P F Harre (Otago). These said petrol could be allowed only if there was proof of urgency, if details of the journey were given, and if there were no other means of transport. Mr. G. Laurence (Nth. Island Motor Union) said it was only when applicants had sufficient knowledge to insist on their application going before committees that committees ever saw them.
It was decided to suggest to the Minister of Supply, Mr. Sullivan that steps be taken to co-ordinate the policy of all oil fuel advisory committees.
