Mr. Zeller concluded by citing reports available from eight border points for the week ending August 16th, which showed a total of 36,â€" 165 as compared with 30,376 for the same period in 1940 anad 46,â€" 462 for the corresponding week of 1939 Permits issued for the same week at Windsor, Ontario, one of the principal ports, were less than in 1940, the figures being 9,119 as compared with 9,369 for the corâ€" responding week last year and 16,â€" 155 for the same week in 1939 "Early reports were encouragâ€" ing," Mr. Zeller pointed out, "since the total number of 60â€"day permits issued at 15 border points repreâ€" senting more than 75% of the toâ€" tal border traffic, for the week ending July 12th, 1941, amounted to 98% of those issued during the corresponding period of 1939. For the week ending August 9th, howâ€" ever, the gorccnlage has dropped to 897. eports for that week frem these border points give the total number of 39,933 60â€"day perâ€" mits as compared with 28,305 for the corresponding week last year and 44.860 for the same week in‘ 1939 "At the beginning of the tourist season, there was every possibility that the 1941 Canadian tourist traffic would perhaps reach an all time high", Walter P. Zeller, Exeâ€" cutive Assistant to the Minister of National War Services, stated toâ€" day, "but the latest reports show a definite decline in the rate of inâ€" crease over last year." Tourist Traffic Decreases Sharply The reduction in petrol allowâ€" ances has reduced the value of motor cars to owners, writes R. P. Bower, Assistant Trade Commisâ€" sioner at Sydney, in reporting upon these recent restrictions. Many owners have decided against taking out registrations for the coming year. In New South Wales alone, it is estimated, 82,000 ugâ€" hicles will be laid up for this reaâ€" son. The reduction of that number of cars in use will mean a loss of approximately $4,000,000 in state revenues, partly from decreased registration fees and partly from smaller returns from . the petrol} tax Still further restrictions, effecâ€" tive on August 1, reduce licenses for farm vehicles by half and for commercial vehicles by twoâ€"fifths, set the gasoline ration for taxis and privateâ€"hire vehicles at 40 per cent and for tourist vehicles at 25 per cent of their original ration, and allow omnibuses and service cars to receive 85 per cent and farm and industrial machinery 50 per cent of their previous allowances of petrol. ‘ Under amendments to the petrol rationing _ regulations, . effective July 1 last, private car owners in Australia will be allowed only sufâ€" ficient gasoline to drive a thousand miles a year, and no petrol will be allowed for driveâ€"yourself cars nor for private pleasure boats. Licâ€" enses for commercial vehicles and industrial and farm machinery at the same time were made subject to a reduction of 10 per cent. 7.
