Forty-Hour Week.
The opinion, that the Government should not adopt the forty-hour week universally, but should leave the determination of the matter in the hands of the various industries according to their own requirements, was expressed in a statement prepared by the executive of the Auckland Chamber of Commerce and adopted by the council of the chamber. The chamber decided to support the Auckland Provincial Employers’ Association in any such steps taken in the matter.
Motoring at Night. “It is negligence for a motorist to fail to stop should he become so dazzled by the lights of an approaching vehicle that he cannot see the road ahead,” said Mr. Justice Blair, during the hearing of a motor collision case in the Supreme Court at Palmerston North. His Honour further explained that it was the duty of motorists travelling at night to observe a speed which, would enable them to stop within half the length of the road within their range of vision should the necessity arise.
