Too Many Hawkers Now At Whakatane
The number of unregistered hawkers now operating in the borough was commented on by councillors at this week’s meeting of the Whakatane Borough Council. So far there is only one registered and Cr R. T. Morpeth considered that the others should be made to register, both to protect themselves and the public.
“We don’t want hawkers in the borough,” the Mayor, Mr B. S. Barry, remarked. “However, if they do come here they should be registered.”
Cr Morpeth said the trouble was to .catch the hawkers and make them register. He suggested that if every person ip the borough, who was approached by a hawker, refused to buy anything unless the hawker were registered most of them would then set about getting registered or moving.
