S.I. MOTOR UNION
PETROL TAX ALLOCATION. 'Per Press Association.) INVERCARGILL, December 9. The quarterly meeting of the South Island Motor Union was held at Invercargill, when delegates from all the affiliated associations werei present. A heavy afternoon’s business was transacted and many important ! matters for South Island motorists were discussed, including the alloca--tion of the petrol tax, concerning which the following resolution was unanimously carried: “That this representative meeting of South Island motorists' bodies protest most emphatically against the refusal of the Government to recognise the principle of the allocation between the two Islands on tha’ proceeds of the petrol tax on the same basis as provided in the Main Highways Act for the division from tyre tax and from registration fees; and pledges itself to maintain the agitation until its just claims are satisfied.” This evening visiting delegates were taken to Oretl Beach, the finest for racing purposes* in the Dominion. Tomorrow they go to Stewart Island.
