SPEED LIMIT SIGNS AT AUCKLAND
PREVIOUS CRITICISM WITHDRAWN "I have been very critical of the Automobile Association, Auckland, on several occasions, and particularly about this. I now publicly withdraw it." This statement was made at a meeting of the South Island Motor Union last evening by Mr F. W. Johnston when speaking of the new speed limit signs. "I want to retract what I have said in that respect. lam told by motorists who have been up there that the 30 miles an hour signs are an eyeopener. I want to compliment them on their prescience and on not waiting for local bodies or any one else. They are acting, as Mr Semple says, as guides, philosophers and friends of the motoring public." Other members said that the new notices were not legally binding until approved in the Gazette. The executive will again ask the Commissioner of Transport for an officer to make an early start in the South Island.
