WAITOMO STARTLED
PROSECUTION PENDING. WHEN “WIZARD” SMITH BLEW THE HORN. Norman (“Wizard”) Smith the motorist who last week established a record for the Auckland-Wellington journey is to be prosecuted by the Waitomo County Council for exceeding the 6peed limit, the council having instructed its ranger to take action. When the matter was discussed at the meeting of the council last week Councillor Boddy said: “He was going bo fast when he got out of the town that when he blew his horn (which was a good one) before he got to the corners, he was out of sight round them before the sound reached us. That’s an absolute fact.”
