* REGULATIONS FOR OTAGO AND SOUTHLAND (PftESS ASSOCIATION TELEGRAM.) WELLINGTON, February 24. Regulations fixing the retail and wholesale price of motor spirit in the Otago and Southland district are issued with to-night’s Gazette. “In continuance of the Government’s policy of introducing regulations fixing the price of motor spirit,” said the Hon. D. G. Sullivan, Minister for Industries and Commerce, in- an interview to-night, “regulations fixing the wholesale and retail price of motor spirit in the Otago and Southland districts have now been passed. “My experience with the introduction of regulations in other areas has convinced me that regulations of the type now introduced, in the Otago and Southland districts are of material benefit to all sections of the motoring trade and at the same time I have been able in those areas to preserve for resellers a margin of profit of 3d a gallon, as is general throughout the Dominion,” he added.
