Amendment to Motor Car Act Eases Vehicle Use for Farmers
The Forum notes a new amendment to the Motor Car Act which took effect on July 1, 1935. It allows primary producers to register motor vehicles at concessional rates for use in transporting produce between farm premises and markets or storage, within specified limits, easing prior restrictions that burdened farmers with higher registration and operation costs. The measure aims to support farming operations by permitting broader, though still regulated, use of vehicles for carrying vegetables and related goods to markets or stores.
