AN URGENT NEED.
HEAVY TRAFFIC PROBLEM. BILL THIS SESSION. Parliament Buildings, Oct. 30.—The urgent need for the proposed heavy traffic legislation was stressed to-day by the Hon. J. G. Coates, Minister of Public Works, when Mr Wilford suggested that the opportunity be given, to the Carriers’ Federation to give evidence against certain clauses in the Bill. The Minister replied that such a course would mean that the Bill could not be passed this session. In his opinion there was nothing more urgently required than the measure, in the interests of farmers, ratepayers in towns and local bodies. Evidence had already been taken, and the committee was in a position to judge whetherr the proposals were reasonable. Mr Massey said no injustice could be done by passing the Bill; if there was any hardship it could be dealt with at the beginning of next session.
