WRONG MOTOR FUEL
"This regulation may have been known once, but, judging by the smell one gets from motor exhausts, it is very frequently broken," said Mr. W. C. Harley, S.M., at Lower Hutt yesterday, when Conrad Boyes, an insurance inspector, of Totara Crescent, Lower Hutt, was fined £2 for using lighting kerosene as a motor vehicle fuel. On behalf of the defendant, Mr. N. T. Gillespie entered a plea of ignorance of the regulation, which provides that only certain fuels, subject to tax, shall be used as motor fuel.
