SYDNEY TALKS OF CANTERBURY PLAN TO IMPORT PETROL.

REPRESENTATIVE MEN DISAPPROVE OF SCHEME. (United Press Assn.—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) (Received May 22, 11.5 a.m.) SYDNEY. May 22. Whether motorists should import their own petrol, as is done by the Canterbury (New Zealand) Automobile Association, is the subject of discussion in Sydney, but representative men disapprove. They argue that the price of petrol is not unreasonable. Country charges merely have freight added, while distributors work all hours on every day in the week for the convenience of motorists. One prominent commercial man. Mr Bovd E/ikins, declared that the Canterbury experiment would not last long. Another, Colonel J. A. Murdoch, M.L.C.. expressed the opinion that the Canterbury Automobile Association must be getting cheap Mexican spirit. —Australian Press Association.
