PETROL BACK TO OLD PRICE IN STRATFORD.
COST OF MOTOR OILS RAISED. The price of petrol in Stratford is now uniformly at the old level, the decision being come to yesterday by local traders that the increase represented by the proposed extra tax should not be imposed. When the proposal was first announced the price was raised by most dealers, the position being that as soon as the House passed the first resolution the tax became operative. However, it is understood that yesterday's decision followed on advice from the oil companies, though the duration of the reduction is quite indefinite, pending the final confirmation of the tax by the- House. Ifc is understood) than petrol entering the port of Now Plymouth since the first resolution was passed has had the tax imposed on it. It may be stated that advice has been received from the oil companies definitely raising the price of motor oils.
