FIRE-WATCHING PLANS
A WELLINGTON DECISION A decision that a deputation should ask the Government to determine whether fire-watching was necessary in its present form was made at a meeting of several hundred firewatchers held in Wellington. Suggestions were made that the service should be completely disbanded, but the chairman, Mr. H. H. Miller, declined to accept these," saying they were contrary to the war regulations. A resolution was also passed suggesting that a committee of six watchers be appointed to confer with the authorities and place before them, as occasion demands, matters which affect the interests of watchers and should be brought to the notice of those responsible for the administration of the regulations.
