An application by the Canterbury Car Club for representation on the Christchurch Metropolitan Road Safety Committee was granted by the committee last evening. In a letter to the committee, the elub said it had made the application previously, but so far it had not been granted.

G. R. Sedgley. one of thr club's vice-presidents. The committee granted the application without discussion.
