MOTOR RESTRICTIONS AND COSTS
(fo the Editor.)
Sir.—l am wondering if it is at all possible to discover the plans that the Government has made dealing with the motorist, before the registration fees are paid. Some years ago it was suggested that there should be a car in every home. Consequently, many modest wage-earners turned their thoughts "car-wards" and saved until they became car owners. Oh, yes, I know there is a v/ar oh now!, That, however, does not alter the fact that these same \cars have to be kept in order and registration fees and insurances paid. Last March, we were all urged to keep our cars on the road. Let us this year, before we pay out, know what. we are paying for. The motorist; who provides such large sums as revenue, has a right to expect better treatment than we have had recently. Less running mileage means a bigger reduction in the accident risk, yet we still have to pay the same amount of insurance. There is still plenty of benzine being wasted. This appeal is not intended for those who can slip hands into pockets and find an easy sufficiency for their needs but for those who have diligently saved to possess a car and now do not feel inclined to part with their only useful pleasure.—l am, etc.,
ONE OF THE LATTER,
