MOTORISTS AND PETROL.
CANTERBURY’S EXPERIMENT. DISCUSSED IN SYDNEY. DISAPPROVAL OF THE SCHEME. (By Telegraph.—Fress Assn.—Copyright.) (Australian Press Association.) (Received May 22, 11.5 a.m.) SYDNEY, May 22. Whether motorists should import their own petrol, as is done by the Canterbury (New Zealand) Automobile Association, is the subject of discussion in Sydney, but representative men disapprove.

Another, Mr Murdoch, M.L.C., expressed the opinion that Canterbury must be getting cheap Mexican spirit.
