TRANSPORT CONTROL

ENFORCEMENT OF NEW REGULATIONS The co-operation of the Christchurch City Council’s traffic inspection staff hi the enforcement of the Transport Control Emergency Regulations, 1942, has been promised by the council’s traffic committee. It was reported to the council last evening that a request for such co-operation had been received from the Commissioner of Transport. The purpose of the new regulations, the committee’s report stated, was to provide a more detailed control than is provided by the Transport Licensing Act, 1931, over goods services and taxicab services for the purpose of conserving petrol and tyres. The commissioner advised that the personnel 01 the Taxi-Cab Control Committee for this district was Messrs T. J. Carroll, C. Hayward, A. Archer, and T. W. Hogg (secretary). “As any appeals under the above regulations must be dealt wim-.is.the Metropolitan Licensing AutE»-i If* there appears to be'Mi other, •'coiwe than that the council'sKould do.’all P®* 1 ' sible to assist in the enforcement J 01 these regulations. This can be m* eluded in the traffic department’s ordinary duties, especially those of the inspector of licensed vehicles,” stated the committee. • “The committee has therefore HJ* formed the Commissioner of Transport that the council is prepared to CO* operate in the enforcement of the regu* lations, and that it is presumed that all fines from cases taken under these regulations will be held by the Christchurch City Council,”
