A request to permit a horse, with tin can attached, to be driven along a road in the borough, was refused by the Gisborne Borough Council last week, when a letter couched as follows was read: “Being a ratepayer of the borough and a well-known person capable of handling horses. 1 wish to demonstrate the handling of a horse which is supposed to be nervous, so I ask your kind permission to drive a horse in harness through the main street with a benzine tin tied to its tail. 1 wish you to give this your kind consideration, as I am thereby able to make a rise, which would be a great help to me in these days of depression.” Tenders arc being called by the Public Works' Department for the supply of gumboots, galvanised pipe, and multicore cable.
