Serious damage has been done in- some parts of the Nelson district through motorists and others leaving roadside fires, which they have lit to boil the billy, before making sure that all is safe (reports the Nelson Mail). In one instance a settler lost 150 acres of grass, and in another part of. the district two huts together with a collection of tools were destroyed, obviously from roadside fires which had not been extinguished. In some parts large areas of forest as well as private property are endangered by such carelessness.
