The total number of registrations is :—Motor-cars 3060 ; delivery vans 648 ; motor wagons 204 ; motor-cycles 1039 ; total 4951.
The combined registers of Wellington City, Hutt Borough, Makara County Council and Hutt County Council contain about 10,000 registrations. The registers are either very inaccurate or a large number of owners are evading the new Act, comments “The Radiator.”
