The rapid growth of .the popularity of the motor-car was mentioned at .the Alotor Traders’ Association conference at Auckland this week, by (he president, .Mr. D. Crozier. “It is our duty,” he. declared, “to educate the public, and members of Parliament to the fact that although the motor-ear does give pleasure, 95 per cent, of those used are for tho purpose of providing quicker transit for doctors, fanners, and business men, and are essential to the progress of New Zealand. Just as the telephone is a time-saving, money-saving, and .lifelengthening device in the commercial and social world, so the- motor-car is no longer n luxury, but an absolute business necessity. The transportation of produce from country districts is one of the most important factors in' the de : veldpment of the land, and as a great many farms arc long distances from ri.ilwuv3 oJ shipping, tho motor’will have Io pli.y a,n increasingly large part in solving this transportation problem. The-tiKrtor-car has a great advantage over costly railways, and tho development of motor traffic has already far exceeded •the dreams of even the most enthusiastic, having Ixscome to people in outlying districts just what the traniear and ferry are to the people of city and suburbs.” —''New Zealand Herald.”
