Nails on Roads.
Dear Sir, —It is time the City Council put) that magnetised trailer over the roads to pick up the nails and tacks that every old wooden vehicle lumbering round a corner drops in its wake. The roads and street! in Christchurch are in an expensively da & gerous state for motorists. Until science finds a substitute for nails the road magnet should be kept in use practically all the time. It is necessary to be constantly at id to keep the roads clean, not from nail? only, but from all sorts of bits of iron* and steel. A little while ago I found Xj had run my car through a spilt packet of gramophone needles.—l am, etc., MOTORIST.
