Lymburn. National Controller of Salvage, when addressing the Oamaru Committee for the Reclamation of Waste Materials. The Controller of Salvage was emphasising the need for the greatest possible conservation of rubber when Mr. L. B. Denbanham. representing the Oamaru Motor Trades’ Association, asked whether the stocks of used tyres, “frozen’’ under the control of regulations, could he released for sale under permit. 'Some of these tyres might •have 5000 or 6000 miles of use in them, whereas at present they are just taking up storage space in the garages,’ lie said. “If these used tyres have been declared they can be sold under permit,” replied Mr. Lymburn. “That la the logical vie If this procedure should need any spec regulation, which I doubt, I will cert ait make the necessary recommendations my return to Wellington." lilt
