SLUR ON GOVERNOR
ROADSIDE HOARDING QUESTION. BLENHEIM, January 24. “It seems to me to be a slur upon the Govornor-General,” observed Ml* R. P. Furness at last evening’s meeting of the Marlborough Automobile Association, in directing attention to the fact that whereas, as a result of representations by his Excellency, various oil companies bad agreed to demolish advertising hoardings, the Railway Department, in Marlborough at any rate, was increasing the numbq-r of hoardings along its property facing the rural highways. “I can’t see the consistency of this,” proceeded Mr Furness. “The GovernorGeneral has done good work with the cil companies, but the Government, for the sake of a few pounds in revenue, is nullifying it all.” The meeting decided to dVaw the attention of the South Lslaind Motor Union to the subject, emphasising the fact that the Association has no objection to advertising on railway stations, but does object to tho display of hoardings along .rural roads, as is the ease witli railway advertising in Marlborough.
