AID FOR FARMERS
TRANSPORT CONCESSIONS TRAFFIC FEES AND LICENCES ( Per Press Association. ] WELLINGTON, Nov. 24. A concession is being given to the farmers in the remission of licence fees and heavy traffic fees on farm tractors and traction engines and their trailers, said the Minister of Transport, the Hon. R. Semple, in an interview to-day. Formerly if two or more farmers shared a tractor they had to pay the full fees in respect of its use, said Mr. Semple. A licence fee of £5 was also payable in respect of all traction engines. "Under the regulations recently gazetted by my department, farmers can now use tractors co-operatively without paying these fees. The licence fee on traction engines is also remitted.” The Minister added that consideration was being given to amending the legislation exempting these vehicles from the registration fees.
