HEAVY TRAFFIC FEES
FIRE ENGINES LIABLE DECISION AT WELLINGTON [ Fei press Association. } WELLINGTON, Dec. ! Reserved judgment was given by the I Chief Justice, ►'Sir Michael Myers, in I ihe Supreme Couit this afternoon in the case heard last week raising the question of whether or not the fire I engines owned and operated by 'he Wellington Fire Board come within the definition of heavy motor vehicles in the Heavy Motor Vehicles Regulations, 1932, and whether the Fire Board is liable to the Wellington City Corporation for heavy traffic licence fees in respect of them. His Honour’ considered the question in so far only as vehicles carrying lire escape ladders and fire pump vehicles were concerned, and declared that they must be heavy motor vehicles within the meaning of the regulations. His Honour said that if it were thought that vehicles used entirely for such a public purpose as lire suppression should be exempt from the heavy motor vehicle regulations, it presumably was a simple enough matter for the authorities so to provide by an appropriate amendment.
