NOTES.

Motorists aro reminded of tho special arrangements made for parking and traffic control in the vicinity of Eden Park today. The following notice was observed recently on a Liverpool motorist's car: — "Steady! Rather ho home at twelve than in Heaven at eleven!"

" Give us some Scotchmen's gas," the motorist said to tho garage attendant. The latter understood immediately. fTo filled tho radiator with water and then put free air into a couple of the tyres.

An epidemic of snakes has broken out in the south-east corner of Essex. 'lliev have been seen wriggling across tho arterial London to Southend road, and a garage hand has killed an adder over three feet long.

Tho action of the Duke of Devonshire in closing Hardwickc Park to visitors is only typical of what is happening throughout England. Landowners are becoming tired of playing tho host to motorists and trippers, whose gratitude is to make a bear garden of a beauty spot.

There arc three deep pot holes in the, filling between the tram-rails at tho junction of Great South and Mamikau Roads. Tho pot-holes are causing inconvenience to r&id-users, particularly at night when they cannot readily be, seen.

A decision to place permanent "No Parking" signs on the grass borders in Campbell lioad, near the Great South Road, was reached by the One, Tree Hill Borough Council during tho week. Tho decision was made in consequence of tho nuisance caused by cars being parked on the grass on race days.
