MOTOR CARS
PLENTY OFFERING While a few months ago difficulty was experienced by the Otago Vehicle Controller (Mr W. J. Winefield) in securing sufficient cars and trucks for the use of the army, the position is very different to-day, reports the Otago Daily Times. Since the supplies of petrol to private motorists became unavailable, scores of car owners have endeavoured to dispose of their vehicles to the Army Department, with the result that to-day the Controller has several hundred cars on his books ready to be handed over should the authorities require them. The valuations made have generally proved satisfactory, and the fair-prices paid by the Government have been partly responsible, it is considered, for the large number of motorists who have offered their vehicles to the Army.
