Solicitors' Claim for Petrol Allowance.
THE President reported that, with the Secretary,
he had interviewed officials of the Department of
Supplies with a view to obtaining an allowance of
petrol for solicitors for business purposes. He
pointed out particularly the difficulty experienced
by country solicitors in carrying on their practice-
having regard to the difficulties of obtaining
transport to attend the various courts. The
officials of the Department had fully appreciated
these difficulties but had informed him that there
is very little hope at the present time that the
existing restrictions on the supplies of petrol
could be raised in respect of the Solicitors' Pro

go
fully into the
position and to communicate with the Society
on the subject.
