MOTOR TRAFFIC.
HEAVILY OVER-TAXED. LOCAL BODY’S PROTEST. <r. —.» t'Ey Telegraph.—Press Association.) PALMERSTON N., Tuesday. When a resolution from Tauranga County Council favouring a petrol tax or other direct levy on motorists as the most equitable method to meet the problem of the upkeep of the main roads came before the Kairanga County Council, a councillor said at the present rate motorists are very heavily taxed. Until the present funds of the Highways Board proved inadequate he was against any increase. Local bodies are at their wits’ end to find money to obtain the Highways Board subsidies.
The council passed a resolution that motor traffic in the Dominion is already over-taxed, and it is not fair to put a further tax 'on it.
