Slow-Turning Wheels
(N Z. Pres s A Mortal ion) AUCKLAND, May 27. A man who had objected to his neighbour conducting a coal-tracking business in a residential area had been kept waiting more than two years for a magistrate's decision on the case, Mr G. A. Bardon. the Deputy-Mayor of Papatoetoe, told the borough council last night. “It is unreasonable to expect the man to suffer in ; silence so long.” said Mr Bardon. “I realise the wheels of justice turn slowly, but two. <to three years is a long time to wait.” The council was considering a further letter from the resident, who asked when the neighbour would be made to comply with the council’s requirements. The council decided to make inquiries into the reason for the delay.
