RESTRICTIONS ON MOBILE SHOPS
Proprietors’ Move For “Protection” (New Zealand Press Association) AUCKLAND, December 7. A new body, the Auckland Mobile Shop Proprietors’ Association, has been formed to protect travelling traders who, it is asserted, have been “persecuted” by borough councils trying to put them out of business. Mr G. D. Askew, the treasurer of the new association, said today that from April 1, 1961, mobile shop proprietors will have to pay up to £25 registration fee in order to operate in any one borough. This was the result of a Hutt by-law which has been written into the statute, said Mr Askew. Previously, the registration fee was only 255. “Since the fee covers only one borough,” he said, “imagine the cost for traders who operate in four, five, or even . more boroughs. This is an attempt to eliminate us.”
