It is calculated by the Automobile Association of Wellington that the extra wear and tear on motorcars due to the non-expenditure of motor tax money on the roads costs the motor-car owners of New Zealand £1,000,000 a year. Several speakers at the annual meeting of the association last night expressed dissatisfaction at the position. The president (Sir Alexander Roberts) said the estimated total motor taxes amounted to £3,000,000. and of that nearly £2.000.000 was being transferred to purposes for which it had not been intended.—Press Association.
