A syren, similar to that of the city fire engine, lias been installed at the Bank of New Zealand corner at Christchurch, to give warning when a fire engine is -approaching. The syren is operated from the fire station and is intended to warn traffic to give the fire engine a. clear passage. Motorists in Auckland and' elsewhere put themselves to a surprising amount of trouble ervery month to report trival motor accidents to the police stations (states the Auckland Star). If a mudguard is bent, or a windscreen or radiator smashed in a, careless collision, the? parties, either wishing tho police to straighten matters out for them, or misinterpreting the Motor Vehicles Act, 1924, hurry to report it to the nearest police station. It is not necessary unless someone is injured.
