FUEL RESTRICTIONS
HOURS AT PETROL STATIONS
A proposal for regulating the hours of attendance at petrol stations in the Wellington city and suburban 'areas was adopted by a substantial majority vote at a well-attended meeting last night of the Wellington Petrol Resellers' Association. It was the largest meeting of petrol resellers held in Wellington. The president of the association, Mr. W. M. King, presided.
It was emphasised that regulated hours for the sale of oil fuel were necessary because of decreased sales
resulting from wartime petrol restrictions. The hours of attendance suggested were:—Mondays to Thursdays, 7.30 a.m. to 6 p.m.; Fridays, 7.30 a.m. to 9 p.m.; Saturdays, 7.30 a.m. to 6 p.m.; I Sundays, closed all day. The proposal makes provision for one emergency station being open all night in each of the following localities:—Wellington City area, Lower Hutt, Upper Hutt,,Tawa Flat. All other stations would observe" the hours specified. The scheme adopted is to be. submitted to petrol resellers in the form of a requisition,, and after the required number of signatures have been ob-! tained, the requisition will be submitted to the Department of Labour for the Minister's approval.
