In accordance with the "rollback" "roll-back" provisions of the used car price regulation, ceiling prices for used passenger cars were reduced re-duced four per cent. The adjustment adjust-ment takes place periodically to compensate for normal depreciation. deprecia-tion. Charges allowed for extra equipment equip-ment on used cars, such as heaters heat-ers and radios, also were reduced four per cent. Used 1942 automobiles have been removed from rationing. Principal reason for rationing aside from new 1942 cars in these cars that they were the best automobiles in the country stock, and so should be restricted to essential users no longer holds true, so continued rationing is unnecessary. In the future, these cars may be sold certificate-free to anyone. "This action will not only relieve re-lieve boards and dealers of a lot of work," he said, "but it will help deserving people who didn't qualify under rationing rules to obtain autos." Recent increases in gasoline rations for "A" drivers and boat owners, and increased tire quotas for the state also mean more pleasure driving and less hiking, he said. |
