Passive Action In Avenue 'Cemetery 7
Passive, rather than direct, methods are sometimes the more effective in procuring action. When the North Auckland Power Board erected poles in Fifth Avenue, Whangarei, the excavations caused some damage to grass verges kept mown by residents. . ,
Unsightly mounds of clay on otherwise neat lawns prompted somebody to make a cross, on which was placed the inscription “Died of alcoholic poisoning.” Placed on one of the clay mounds, which was then decorated with flowers, it gave every impression of being a grave. Shortly afterwards the mounds of clay, which had seemed a permanency, were removed.
