FIRE PRECAUTIONS
Receptacles For Cinders
From Gas Producers
As a precaution against fires being
started by hot cinders dropped from vehicles using gas producers, the Public Works Department, in conjunction with the Automobile Association, is constructing special sand-covered spaces at intervals along the main highways in the Manawatu and Wairarapa districts. Motorists using gas producers are asked to empty out their used charcoal in the places provided, rather than dropping it indiscriminately on the roadside, as has been the practice. The location of each place will be indicated by signposts. In areas subject to very dry summer, conditions they will be more numerous than in other districts where the fire danger is not so great. In Hawke’s Bay this provision has been made for some time.
