“MISERABLE SINNERS”
EVERYBODY BREAKS BY-LAWS ! w HEN it comes to breaches of the by-laws each one of us is a miserable sinner,” declared Mr. H. E. Vaile in opening his i Mayoral campaign last evening and advocating a revision of the Auckland city by-laws. “There are well over a thousand of them and twice as many sub-sections to govern every action of our daily existence,” he said. “Nobody understands them and we all disobey them. In the course of years, rules and regulations have been piling up until we are no longer a free people, but in municipal matters, as under the Government, we are bound hand and foot with red tape and order-in-council, and may not think for ourselves. We all break them because they are too confusing to observe entirely.”
