PETROL FOR TAXIS
HOLIDAY INCREASE SERVICE CARS AND BUSES [BY TELEGRAPH —PRESS ASSOCIATION"] WELLINGTON, Thursday A small increase is being made in petrol rations for taxis during December and January to enable them to cope with the extra demands of holiday traffic, the Minister of Supply, the Hon. D. G. Sullivan, announced to-day. The Minister said holiday travel would throw a heavy additional strain on public passenger services. In addition to a small increase in the oil fuel rations for taxis, provision had been made to permit the running of certain additional time-table trips and extra runs by service cars and buses. Where petrol was required for these purposes application must be made to the appropriate transport licensing authority.
