PETROL ALLOCATION
DECEMBER REDUCTION IN SPECIAL LICENSES [United Press Association] WELLINGTON, This Day. The amount of petrol allocated for December to the holders of special licenses, such as insurance agents and commercial travellers, has been reduced by 20 per cent. The reduction was announced yesterday by the Oil Fuel Controller, Mr G. L. Laurenson, when he was questioned on a report that all commercial licenses had been reduced. Permanent licenses for petrol for commercial vehicles had not been interfered with Mr Laurenson said. The licenses were issued so that business could be conducted throughout the year but in cases where the cars would be laid up for the Christmas and New Year holidays, and were not being required ' for the special business purposes for which extra petrol had been granted in other months, the petrol allocations were being reduced by 20 per cent.
