ARMY TRUCKS
USE FOR HARVEST. CANTERBURY TRANSPORTERS OBJECT. CHRISTCHURCH, Dec. 3. ■. Transport operators from many parts of Canterbury met in Christchurch to-day to consider sin announcement that Army trucks would be available for the cartage of farm produce during the harvest. The following resolution was carried: “That, while no objection is raised to Army trucks being used on farms for harvesting work, this meeting views with alarm the suggestion that Army trucks may be available to cart farm produce, to rail, ship, or store in competition with transport industry, which is obliged to obtain licenses under the Transport Licensing Act, and is saddled with heavy traffic fees, petrol duty, and tyre taxation.”
