A keen demand has set in for empty petrol tins, and most garages in the city are attended regularly by small boys eager to acquire as many as possible for nothing (remarks the Christchurch Press). The demand Is due to the popularity or rafting on the river. The ttns are bouad together, and when set afloat with or without a platform will carry at least one juvenile on a voyage of felicity down stream.
