Search for Banknotes.
Pedestrians walking along Tay Street. Invercargill, shortly after noon one day last week were amazed to see banknotes of various denominations being scattered by the wind. In their wake came a worried-looking young man making a desperate attempt to retrieve the notes, but without. a great deal of success. The bag in which he had been carrying the notes had snapped open at the treacherous “bank corner" and a strong gust of wind had sent £65 in notes scurrying down the street. The notes, some of which lodged in doorways and under parked motor vehicles, led the owner and a police constable a merry eh-'-c. Pedestrians lent a hand, and tl-.c s' ’ was a scene of considerable activity for some time. In the finish all but £6 was recovered.
