"WORST OFFENDER"
RAILWAYS AND HOARDINGS
(By Telegraph—Press Association.) WANGANUI, This Day. ."The New Zealand Railways advertising department is the worst offender, but it does not come under the Act, J> said a delegate when the question of eliminating roadside hoardings was under consideration at the annual conference of the North Island Motor Union yesterday. 1 Mr. F. Amoore (Taranaki) said that the union was not likely to receive any consideration when the Govern* ment—not the present Government alone, but all Governments—was the chief offender. There was the spectacle of railway stations so blocked up with hoardings advertising whisky and beer that it was even hard to soq the, trains. The union could not expect to receive much satisfaction until the- Government put its own house in order. ■ A motion by Mr. H. C. C Shepherd (Wairarapal that the matter be- re, ferred to the New Zealand Road Safety Council was lost, and a motion by Mr. E. P. Hay (Wellington) that the matter be referred to the executive for consideration was carried.
