Roadside Hoardings Attacked
[Per Press Association. Copyright l WELLINGTON, This Day.
“I certainly think we should make a frontal attack on the Railway Department for the way it is placarding the front entrances to Wellington with hoardings,” said Mr. E. A. Batt, of Wellington, at the half-yearly meeting of the North Island Motor Union. The entrance to Wellington is a scandal. There is a complete set of hoardings all the way to Petone.
“The Government has set the worst possible example. “How can we expect to get any sympathy from the Minister of Internal Affairs, when his colleague, the Minister of Railways, permits such a state of affairs.”
The meeting decided to press the authorities for legislation to prohibit any roadside hoardings within two chains of ,a public highway, and to urge that any legislation be so worded as to. bind the Crown.
