ROTORUA HARD HIT
An appeal to the Mayor of Auckland, Mr. J. A. C. Allum, to exert his influence to have the radius for rail travel extended to include the whole of the Auckland Province was made by the Rotorua Hotel and Boarding-house Proprietors' Association, states a message in the "New Zealand Herald." Mr. Allum's reply did not favour the suggestion, and it was recommended that the Prime Minister should be" approached. The president of the association, Mr. F. Greenfield, urges the dependence o^ Rotorua on the tourist, and also the town's isolation, Hamilton being the only large centre within 100 miles. It is stated that many people are waiting until the last minute before abandoning their holidays in the hope that the restrictions will be lifted. Others may not bother to cancel bookings on the assumption that when their place of residence is found to be more than 100 miles away, the hotels will automatically revoke reservations. Motor-camps have been affected more adversely than accommodation-houses.
