DISPOSING OF CARS.
British police figures as expert motor traders in a story just told <by an East African settler, says a Dar-es-Salaam correspondent. On his last visitto England this settler bought an ancient car for. his four months’ holiday. At the end of that time he was unable to find a purchaser, so he loaded the car with bags and trunks and drove it down to the station. There he removed his baggage and abandoned the motor. Now lie lias been informed by the police in England that the car had been causing an obstruction to traffic, that he had been traced as the owner and had been fined 5s in his absence. But as the English police only keep found property for a certain period, the car had been placed on the market and the settler had had refunded to him more than he originally paid for the car, minus, of course, the os fine.
