MOTORISTS AT FIRES.
"LIKE A LOT OF MANWIEN."
A DANGEBOUS PRACTICE
(By Telepranh.—Press Association.) CHBISTCHUBCH, Wednesday.
When Mr Hugo, inspector of fire brigades, was in Victoria Square on the evening of Sunday, March 20, the motor fire-engine passed him in response to an alarm from St. Albans. More than forty motorcars, motorcycles and bicycles were racing after the engine, even ranging alongside it, "to put it mild'y like a lot of madmen," he stated in a letter to the Fire Board last night.
"The whole proceedings appeared to be most dangerous," he added, "and the police should be asked to stop similar occurrences." The board will bring the matter under the attention of the police.
