DUNEDIN IN THE DARK
STREETS WITHOUT LIGHTS SO SIGN OP RAIN (By Telegraph.) (Special to "The Evening Post.") DUNEDIN, This Day. ■ The city shops arc feeling the effects of the curtailment of the tram services, its wibu housewives, realising'the difficulty of returning to their , homes, have refrained from visiting the city. Suburban shopkeepers havo consequently benefited. Taxi-drivers enjoy a most profitable and busy day.
Lights are not switched on in the streets at night,, ani^ from an early liour the city presents a dead appearance. The only illumination , comes from thp headlights of motor-cars. The effect of hurricane , and cyclo lamps, used to illuminate signs,' is grotesque.
Sales of electric torches have been exceptional, as people, particularly women, have no desire to walk, along the dark suburban" streets after sunset without, some guide. . > . The weather is again fine, with little prospect of rain. ,• ~ ■'■■"'.■«.
