Use Of Government Cars
The use of Government motorvehicles .was mentioned briefly in the report of the Auditor-General (Mr J. P. Rutherford) in Wellington yesterday. There was an account of £450 for a month’s use of Post Office cars and vans in and around Christchurch by the Department of Agriculture. It appeared that cars were sometimes hired for a whole day, though the mileage run on that day was very small. The Audit Office also inquired in a few cases why Government cars were garaged at private liouscs or left standing in streets overnight or at week-ends. The Treasury consulted the Post Office with a view to achieving better control by departments. A departmental motor vehicles committee had been set up to deal with the economical provision and use of departmental vehicles.—(P.A.)
