Transport Restrictions Dominion Special Service. HAMILTON, August 11. The restrictions on transport caused by the shortage of petrol and tyres were discussed at a meeting of the Waikato branch of the Farmers’ Union. One speaker said the whole transport system required investigation to Iron out' anomalies. Some people could get all the tyres and petrol they wanted and more, while others could get nothing. The president,- Mr. H. Johnstone, said there should be a universal' response to the appeal to effect economies. Priority should he given to the cartage of lambs, a perishable commodity. Store sheep should travel by foot. Mr. Johnstone said there were motor trailers from Cambridge, Te Akau, and Hamilton at the Waikato Hunt Club’s recent meet at Whatawhata. Hunting was detrimental to production, he added. The cartage of beer should be stopped. Mr. A. Bryant drew attention to the shortage of drovers, who should be released from the Army. It was resolved to meet the users’ committee with a view to securing representation for the farmers on the Transport Rationing Committee.
