Fortunately the war was now over, and work oouid bo accelerated. This year, besides the ordinary war work, tbo influenza epidemic had boon ooped with. However, they were utterly unable to mvct- with all tho demands ntaao upon tho association, but some of the leading citizens, and, in fact, practically ail the motor ownors ot Christchurch, had joined in helping It had boon a good thing for tho city that so many private individuals had been cduea.ed in first aid and homo linrsiugl bolore the epidemic bad overtaken them.
