PETROL TAX
. f ' INJUSTICEtAIIeGED. 7 T (By Telegraph—Per Prm Association.) /.WELLINGTON, Aug. 8;7 One of the main" questibnfe discussed by the Executive of the Municipal Association to-day was the increased petrol tax.

Hope was expressed that the Government would give consideration to the whole matter. ’ • T/T
