IRE NEW BOARD. Its First Task. (Per Press Association). WELLINGTON, April 26. An early announcement is expected to be made by the Minister of Transport, Mr Veitch, in r.’gard to the personnel of the Transport Advisory Council. It is understood that the Minister is now awaiting the acceptance of two gentlemen who have been nominated to act as m ankers of the Council. Mr Veitch stated that the Board will be called together immediately the personnel is finalised. “The Board;,” said the Minist r, “will be asked to settle down to serious business right away. There ig a lot of work ready for it, and I regard as its first task the revision of the Motor Regulations and th" simplification of them wherever possible. What I hope ultimately to achieve is such a set of regulations that once a motorist has taken the trouble to understand them, he will be able U go right through New Zealand without breaking the law; because it will bl' uniform *d h e win easily understand what he has to do to complv with the regulations for his own safety, as well as that of other traffic, including the pedestrian. I not so foolish as to believe that the ideal win bbi realised immediately, but if we keep our attention constantly on It. we can at least hope for continual improvement of aU matters eonDi cted with, motor transport. ”
