A DANGEROUS CROSSING
PROTECTION WANTED PROTEST TO THE DEPARTMENT [Par Press Association. J NAPIER, Nov. 30. Repeated representations to the Railway Department extending over 14 years to flag a dangerous railway crossing in Waipukurau, or take some other effective means of protecting human life, culminated to-night in a largely attended and representative public indignation meeting called by the Mayor of Waipukurau. Strong comment was made on the Government’s refusal to take some action and a resolution was passed asking the Minister of Railways to take immediate steps to comply with the request. Members of Parliament for the district are to be asked to meet the Minister. The Hawke’s Bay Automobile Association telegraphed supporting the protest and stating that as the crossing concerned was on the main road the question should be treated as a national one.
