EXPORT ASSEMBLY SHED.

(To tho Editor.)

Sir, —As an onlooker one is fully in sympathy with the anxiety of parents over the building of above shed in such close proximity to two big schools. Knowing the very natural tendency of children to be drawn to any locality where large quantities of fruit are being handled, one cannot but be perturbed at the thought of so many children passing to and fro. Fruit-growers with children of their own must, I am sure, enter a little into the deep anxiety of every mother’s heart with children attending the schools. With the great number of big motor lorries and trucks dashing up and down throughout the fruit season, and on a decidedly narrow roadway, in spite of arguments to the contrary I strongly maintain that the road is fai too narrow for the volume of traffic during the busy season. As a driver of long experience 1 found it practically impossible to turn a car without some manoeuvring. I would earnestly appeal to those fruit-growers with courage and power to sink for tho time all thoughts of financial gain, and soberly ask themselves—is it worth it?—the grave risk and responsibility of - causing serious injury or even death to a little child. Let sound reason prevail.—l am, etc., JUSTICE. Hastings, 6/3/30.
