COSTUME RULES FOR TAKAPUNA SHORTS ONLY BANNED.. (Special to the “Guardian.”) AUCKLAND, October 28. _ Tho Takapuna Borough Council is not in favour of any departure from existing bathing costumes. The recommendation of the works committee to this effect was adopted at a. meeting of the council, and the Takapuna Surf Life-saving Club is to be advised accordingly. Recently the club sought the council’s interpretation of the by-law governing the wearing of bathing suits, and the honorary secretary pointed out that the by-law stated that bathing costumes, must extend from neck to knee. “In these more enlightened clays, when the health-giving value of the sun’s rays is realised, the public is indulging in sun bathing in a manner hitherto unthought of,” said the secretary. Our club members arc keen sun bathers when not on patrol, and would like to he allowed the privilege of wearing woollen shorts only.” It was pointed out that the Auckland City Council had revised its bathing regulations. / In view of the council s decision, those who, this summer, wear the latest model bathing costumes seen in the city shops will he breaking the by-law in the '.letter, though no doubt a reasonable latitude will be peimitted.
