PETROL IMPORT
CANTERBURY'S PLAN. CRITICISM FROM SYDNEY. (CKITED PBESB ASSOCIATION—BY ELECTBIC TELEOBAPH —COPYBIGHT ) SYDNEY, May 22. Whether motorists should import their own petrol, as is suggested by the Canterbury (New Zealand) Automobile Association, is the subject of discussion in Sydney, but representative men disapprove. They argue that the price of petrol is not unreasonable. Country charges merely have freight added, while distributors work all hours on every day in the week for the convenience of motorists. One prominent commercial man, Mr Boyd Edkins, declared that the Canterbury experiment would not last lon®. Another, Colonel J. A. Murdoch. M.L.C., expressed the opinion that the Canterbury Automobile Association must be getting cheap Mexican spirit.—Australian Press Association.
