Says J. E. Hogg, of New York, in the American Motor Life:—“ln entering New Zealand from Australia, I was amazed by tho simple courtesy of his Majesty’s servants in their efforts to help us comply with a few sensible, legal requirements. They’ve trimmed the red tape to almost nothing. The Customs officers were almost apologetic for asking me to open the lids of our trunks —and close them again. The immigration officers dismissed us with a few perfunctory questions, and a rubber stamp mark on our passports. It took me about five minutes to obtain a New Zealand driver’s license. The customary examination for driving ability, physical and mental fitness, was waived upon presentation of evidence that I had recently complied with similar regn lations in Australia.”
