EASING THE BURDEN
HEAVY-TRAFFIC FEES QUARTERLY PAYMENTS Press Association WELLINGTON, Thursday. The Minister of Transport, the Hon. W. A. Veitch, announced today that an Order-in-Council had been passed amending the heavy lorry regulations to provide for the payment of the heavy traffic fees quarterly instead of annually. Representations in regard to the matter had been made by organisations representing carriers, service car and taxi-cab owners, and others, as to the hardship suffered by having to find largo sums of money at one time. The Government had given the representations careful and sympathetic consideration, said the Minister, and no doubt the opportunity of paying fees quarterly would be of considerable relief to owners of motor vehicles. As already announced, the general question of taxation was at present engaging tho attention of the Government, but in view of the very farreaching investigation necessary it would be some time before any final decision could be arrived at.
