AND HOARDING DISPLAYS. MR ARCHER'S "CORRECTION." Tho remarks of tho Mayor (Mr J. K. Archer), which were published in "The Press" last week, concerning moving picture posters, were tho subject of a telegram from Messrs Chandler and Co., Auckland, which camo before tho City Council last night. Tho telegram. «, copy of which had been sent to tho Mayor, was as follows : Hon. Sir Jaines Parr telegraphs: '" 'My remarks about hoardings were plainly and clearly directed to the display of indecent and lascivious posters in connexion with moving pictures, and I suggest that you should communicate with Mr Archer and point this out.' You have been rol>ortod to havo referred to Hon. Pair's remarks as a protest supporting you against tho uso of hoardings in general, so in justice to all commercial and other institutions using hoardings, and in fairness to Hon. Parr and yourself a correction of your reported remarks is called for." Tho Mayor said that he did not know whether the Council wished to hear an explanation from him. (Laughter.) Cr. C. Carr said that the Mayor should clear up tho false impression his remarks had created. Tho Mayor: I am not concerned with false impressions, but if the Council wishes to hear a speech from me on tht subject, I shall bo pleased to make ono, (Laughter and cries of "No.") The Council then passed on to other business.
