‘‘Nearly all'the London streets are paved with flags,” said the Christchurch City Engineer (.Mr A. R. Galbraith), commenting on the objection of the chairman of the Council of the United Burgesses’ Association to the proposed use of flag-stones in Colombo Street. “They are used in all big cities,” Mr Galbraith added, “and there is never any trouble with them. Of course, there is a risk when there is a shower of rain, followed by a sudden frost, when the surface becomes glazed. Horses come down everywhere in London on account of that, but it can’t happen here because we are going to pave under the verandahs.”
