Taxi Driver Left Lamenting
Keepa Hape, at leisure, in Whaka. tane on a recent bright afternoon, felt the wider world calling, so decided to take a little taxi jaunt to Taneatua .and Ruatoki. After a pleasantly long afternoon, he arrived back at Whakatane and slipped away, quite overlooking the £4 fare he had stacked up. Naturally there was trouble, culminating on Monday in Hape’s appearance before Messrs L. H. Brown and C. H. Christensen, 'J’s.P. charged with obtaining credit by fraud. He admitted it, and was- fined £2, as well as being ordered to pay the £4 to the taxi proprietor. One surmises he left the Court a little less Hape.
