No cars are provided for officials of my Department. Within the semi-State agencies and boards only one of the noncommercial agencies or boards provide cars for their staff that is the National Rehabilitation Board who provide six cars for their field officers. Information concerning the total cost of these vehicles is not readily available but will be communicated to the Deputy as soon as possible.
