“The question has been held up so long, and now that something has come officially, we would like to support it; this is what we wanted,” said the chairman of the Pahiatua County Council, Mr A. W. Bisset, w T hen the Transport Department’s proposed new heavy traffic fees came before the council. The proposal is that lorries up to four tons laden weight, if owned by a farmer or marketgardener, and used by the owner exclusively in connection with his business, should be allowed a reduction of 50% in the heavy traffic fees normally payable. Heavy traffic provisions would then be enforced in respect of all farmers’ trucks. The council decided to support the proposed regulation with a recommiendation that the limit should be increased to five tons.
