To those who had been making representations spoilt his age, he hoped they would go on believing what lie said, and that that would he for another 170 years. He would not have mentioned the matter but for the fact that Mr llawken had said he was too old. He, however, had told Air Hawken that he was too young.

(Mr Coates), in regard to the Cl i r istcl i n rch-Ly ttel ton electrification, says that the electric service will be running on this section by the end of January, 1920. thus removing a long-standing discomfort to the travelling public on this important line.
