DESTRUCTION OF TYRES
ALLEGATION AGAINST ARMY (P.A.) AUCKLAND, Dec. 3.
When the shortage of tyres was being discussed by the council of the Auckland Chamber of Commerce to-day, Mr D. Wrigley made the statement, on the authority of numerous residents in the vicinity of a military camp, that the army had destroyed 400 tyres and tubes last February. This action, Mr Wrigley said, was the sequel to an army order that all tyres on vehicles at the camp were to be replaced by new ones. Four truck loads of tyres and tubes, some of the latter being intact, had been burned, although offers up to £2OO had been made for the rejected stock.
