EASTER PETROL

April Coupons USE THIS MONTH ALLOWED. WELLINGTON, March IL Motorists will be allowed to draw on their April petrol coupons during March, the Minister of Supply, Hon. D. G. Sullivan announced to-day. “In addition to the March allowance already notified, coupons numbered 23, 24, 25 and 26 will be available between now and the end of ’.April,” said Mr. Sullivan. “This will' permit members of the Second Echelon to get the most from their final leave, and will enable motorists to go further afield during the Easter holidays.” The Minister said that he was sorry that the necessity for rationing did not permit the granting of a special holiday allowance. The Government was doing its best, however, to make the existing supplies go as far as possible, and he felt sure motorists would co-operate in not wasting the fpetrol that was available. Those who used their April rations during Mar., h would realise that further supplies could not be made available next mointh. Mr. Sullivan appealed to all users of motor spirit to assist in the petrol conservation campaign by economising in their oil' fuel consumption.
