EXCESSIVE SPEED
MOTOR UNION’S DECISION.
(By Telegraph—Press Association.) CHBISTCHUECH, Thursday.
At the quarterly meeting of the South Island Motor Union, Mr. Egglestone, on behalf of Marlborough, moved: “That owing to the large number of accidents while cars were driven at excessive speed while the drivers were apparently under the influence of liquor, pressure be brought to bear on the Police Department to deal drastically with the after-hours drinking in public and accommodation houses, particularly in the country.”
Mr. Johnston said the best course would be to approach the Minister in charge of the Police Department. The automobile associations could be asked to assist in enforcing the law. The remit was carried.
