A "CRIMELESS" TOWN.
[BY TELEGRAPH. —PRESS ASSOCIATION.] Invercargill, Friday. Ix an article, "Crimeless Invercargill," Mr. G. B. Nicholls quotes from congratulatory addresses of Judges Cooper, Williams, Chapman and Denniston, and states that in the last three years and a-quarter only seven convictions have been recorded in the Supreme Court on matters that arose in Invercargill. Most of the cases were of a trivial nature, and two arose in the Awaru.i district. Mr. * Nicholls concludes : "If the Government only give the people a chance by a national vote on any sort of equal terms, New Zealanders will assuredly sweep the drink traffic away at the 1911 election."
