WINDSCREEN STICKERS
USE AGAIN NEXT YEAR (S.R.) • WELLINGTON. Dec. 0. As a result of the world shortage of steel, it will not be possible to issue steel number plates for the 1947-48 motor vehicle licensing year and windscreen stickers will have to be used again, said the Minister of Transport, Mr. J. OBrien. "Every endeavour has been made to obtain deliveries of steel sheet from all the steel-producing countries of the world, but the shortage is so acute, particularly in the light gauges, that there is little possibility of obtaining supplies of the necessary material in time to enable (he issue of number plates to be made next year. “Even if the quantity of steel required for number plates were to come to hand in the near future, the needs of many of our essentia! industries is so great that its use for number plates could not be justified at the present time
“There is. therefore, no alternative but t<? employ a windscren label for licensing purposes next year similar to that used during the war and arrangements arc being made accordingly.”
