Redman referred to a very effective warning system in use in the Nelson district, where large red reflectors were placed at bad bends in the roads. The rays of a car’s lights, striking the reflectors, brought, their red warning into play and served to guard adequately dangerous places. He thought the association might very well inquire into the scheme. It was agreed that the secretary should investigate the matter and report.

In addition, a number of lOin. boards have been cut out. When an adjacent large block comes to the cutting stage the owners consider there will (be enough case timber on tile property for all requirements indefinitely for !by the time the last of the present trees are put, the natural regeneration following the first portion cut will give a supply of trees suitable for milling.
