An Imperishable Asset
The development of. New Zealand's scenic attractions was urged by Mr W. 11. Hindlc, president of the Wellington Chamber of Commerce, at the annual meeting. ''This is an asset tliat costs nothing to produce, because Nature has provided it for us in large measure, Avithout stint/' he said. "Tourist traffic could be made one of our big sources of national income, and everything possible should be done to develop it. Scenery is not consumable, but it is everlasting. Money would be needed to provide first-class accommodations which would cause tourists to go away and become walking and talking advertisers. Hotels at our resorts must be high class and free of the present stupid restrictions on meal hours and the serving of liquor."
