Levin Said To Have "Missed The Bus"

- He was afraid Levin bad "missed the bus," said Cr. A. J. H. Al.en when informing the Levin Borough Council last night thau a major bus company had changed its stop for refreshments from Levin to ° Foxton in view of the difficulty of findirig adequate space for parking, Cr. Allen said this during the overseer's report on the triangle gardens in Cambridge Street.' The Mayor, Mr. H. B. Burdekin, remarked that he agreed it was a pity, but asked if Cr. Allen was sure that it was bqcause the triangle was not available that the company had made the change? "Not necessarily," replied Cr. Allen, "but we should have got an alternadve place for them." It was unfortunately too late as the arrangements for the changeover were now too far advanced. In his report on the "triangle, the overseer, Mr. E. Lycette, said that in the early hours of Monday morning he had received a telephone call from the Levin statipnmaster, Mr. A. Hayward, to say that a large mob of sheep had invaded the triangle gardens. He had risen from bed and gone' there immediately, but the sheep had disappeared. It had taken him two hours to replant the plants kiched out by the sheep, while some of the plants had been destroyed. It was the first time he had known of sheep wandering so near the town. The council decided to write to the stationmaster, thanking him for teleohoning the council. . .
