MORE PETROL
INCREASE IN NOVEMBER AN UNSPECIFIED AMOUNT The Minister of Supply, the Hon. D. G. Sullivan, has announced an unspecified increase to be granted in the ration of petrol for private motor-cars in November. The statement followed an announcement by the Oil Fuel Controller, Mr G. L. Laurenson, that petrol coupons numbered 10 and 11 would be available for use during October. Mr Sullivan said it was anticipated that by the end oh October the reserves of motor spirit would have reached an amount that would permit of an increase being made in the petrol allowance granted to private cars. Consequently there would be an increase in the ration for
November. The New Zealand Motor Trade Federation has been urging an increase for some time.' The main arguments in favour of Ihis will be found in an article on Page 2 of this issue.
