ROADSIDE HOARDINGS
THE WORST OFFENDERS. RAILWAYS DEPARTMENT WANGANUI, Thursday. “The New Zealand Railways advertising department is the worst offender but it does not come under the Act,” declared a delegate when the question of eliminating roadside hoardings was under consideration at the annual conference of the North Island Motor Union to-day. Mr. F. Amoore (Taranaki) said the union was not likely to receive any consideration when the Government —not the present Government alone but all Governments —was the chief offender. There was the spectacle of railway stations so blocked up with hoardings advertising whisky and beer that it was even hard to see the trains. The union could not expect to receive much satisfaction until the Government put its own house in order.
A motion by Mr. N. C: C. Shepherd (Wairarapa) that the matter be referred to the New Zealand Eoad Safety Council was lost and a motion by Mr. E. P. Hay (Wellington) that the matter be referred to the executive for consideration was carried. —(P.A.)
