"Children at Porirua have to jump off the road to avoid the cars." Ho urged that tho council should provide footpaths in congested areas so that children could walk to school in safety. The- chairman (Councillor E. Windley) said that in his address he had stated.that whereas they formerly had the dangerous narrow main road, they^ now ' had the dangerous wide main" road.
