OIL FUEL LICENCES
APPROXIMATELY 100,000 HELD IN OTAGO WORK OF COMMITTEES Approximately 100,000 oil fuel licences for firms and indiviudals were handled in the Otago district, said the chief postmaster, Mr Ernest J. Smith, when paying a tribute yesterday to the members of the Dunedin District Oil Fuel Committee and the sub-district committees in Otago for their honorary work during the war. They had been of great assistance to the department in carrying out a particularly difficult job, said Mr Smith, and now that the motor spirit supply position was more or less stabilised, the time was opportune to express appreciation of their work. That the organisation throughout the Otago district had functioned without adverse comment indicated that an intelligent and commonsense attitude had been adopted by the various representatives elected to the committee. The chief postmaster or his representative acted as chairman of the district committee, the members of which were Messrs G. S; Kirby, C. Young, H. L. Longbottom, H. Anderson, A. C. Leary, G. W. Ferens, J. Phillips, W. L. Roberts, W. B. Taverner. F. Gray, and M. C. Henderson.
