AGED MAN FOUND DROWNED
DANGER OX EVANS BAY ROAD. . By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington, June 10. The inquest did not reveal how Richard Hicks, aged 87, who went for a walk on May 26 and was found drowned, got into the water, but the coroner remarked on the fact that there was little protection about Evans Bay Road in the vicinity of the Patent Slip, and that lighting was poor. It was quite possible for a person, particularly If dazzled by the lights of passing motors, to walk into the sea. He suggests that the authorities consider the better lighting of the road.
