LICENCE TO SELL PETROL
Year’s Permit For Dairy Company
(New Zealand Press Association) WELLINGTON. December 10. The granting of a licence to a Nelson dairy company to sell petrol to dairy farmers would harm petrol resellers in the district the Motor Spirits Licensing Authority was informed when it sat in Wellington today. The Waimea Co-op. Dairy Company, of Brightwater, applied for a licence to retail motor spirits “otherwise than through pumps.” The company was granted a licence for 12 months to determine whether petrol retailers in the district would be affected.
The application was contested by the Nelson branch of the New Zealand Retail Motor Trade Association (Mr S. B. Crompton). The manager of the dairy company, Mr R. W. Cooper, said in submissions to the authority that more than 500 producers supplied his company. The suppliers preferred to obtain petrol supplies from the company. Any profits the company made from selling the petrol were included in butterfat payments at the end of the year.
