The days when a man could pitch a tent almost anywhere he * liked and take up his abode in it seem to have, gone as far as cur- boroughs are concerned (remarks the ff Auckland Star"). An old man past the allotted span of life, recently erected a tent on the waterfront of one of our marine boroughs, and got a rude stock when he was- told that he would have to get a permit to put up iis canvas house, and as he did not comply with this rule he -was warned that he would have to take his tent; down. Tbe old man, who had hoped to save rent, and is well past work, thinks that there is no freedom in the world nowadays, and that there are- too many rules'and regulations. There will be nothing for it but to go to one of the many homes for old people.
