DISFIGURING THE LANDSCAPE.
■ The question of hoardings that are alleged to disfigure the; nival districts was again discussed at Thursday night’s meeting of the executive of the South Island Motor Union at Christchurch. It was decided to bring the matter under the notice of all the South Island members of Parliament, and ask them to bring it up in the House. It was also decided! to communicate •with firms which were said to have offending hoardings in the country districts. Mr. E. Egglestone said that the greatest offenders were the Railway Department. As long as the Railway Department continued to have hoardings, he supposed other people would also have them. He supposed they could not object to a man using his oAvn land to grow either u crop of wheat or a crop of hoardings. Mr.j F. W. Johnston said that he was not a Socialist, but he thought that a man had. no more right, to have something on his land that offended the eye than he had the right to have something that offended the nostrils.
