RAILWAYMEN WANT HIGHER PETROL TAX.
SAY PRESENT INCREASE IS NOT SUFFICIENT. Per Press Association. WELLINGTON, July 2S. Members of the Thorndon branch of the A.S.R.S. carried the following resolution:—“That members heartily support the proposal to increase the tax on petrol, as the present special and costly type of road is being constructed for the sole benefit of motor vehicles, and should be a charge against the owners of such. Furthermore, members of the branch are of the opinion that much of the present chaotic state of transport affairs is due to the fact that in the past motorists have been allowed to escape from their just obligations. It is therefore urged that the present proposed increase is altogether insufficient and, should be much higher.” .
