The Waimea County Council has taken a very definite and emphatic stand against the erection of advertising hoardings within the county (states the Nelson Alail). When an application for the erection of hoardings was received a councillor asked by whose permission were the hoardings already completed, erected. The County Clerk said no permission had been given. The person concerned had been advised he must apply to the council for permission. Apparently they had been proceeded with in the meantime. It was resolved that the hoardings which had been erected without permission of the council be removed within seven days. It is stated that an advertiser who invited workers to apply for work on “good wages” offered the selling of art union tickets at 2s 6d, the remuneration being lOd a ticket. On behalf of a number of applicants, (reports the Auckland Star). it is complained that this is co.mmission, not wages, and that the ordinary man finds it hard to sell art union tickets. Possibly the size of the commission suggests that it is not so easy as it was to sell these tickets.
