SALE OF USED TYRES
The view that the motor trade could sell, under permit, stocks of used tyres which had been declared in accordance with the Tyre Control Regulations, was expressed by Mr. J. B. Lymburn, National Controller of Salvage, when addressing the Oamaru Committee for the Reclamation of Waste Materials. The Controller of -Salvage was emphasising the need for the greatest possible conservation of rubber when Mr. L. B. Debenham, representing the Oamaru Motor Trades' Association, asked whether the stocks of used tyres, "frozen" under the control regulations, could be released for sale under permit. "Some of these tyres might have 5000 or 6000 miles of use in them, whereas at present they are just taking up storage space in the garages," he said. 'If these used tyres have been declared they can be sold under permit," replied Mr. Lymburn. "That is the logical view. If this procedure should need^ any special regulation, which I doubt, I will certainly make the necessary recommendations on my return to Wellington."
