Call for hawkers to be outlawed
The present by-laws allowing travelling shops, hawkers and itinerant traders should be revoked. That is the view of some Ohakune retailers, who have launched a petition calling for the council to change the council laws. The activities of such traders has "a detrimental "effect on trade within the Ohakune business community and detriment to the Ohakune business community has a wider effect upon the Ohakune township as a
whole", according to the petitioners. At the last meeting of the Ruapehu South Business Association petition organiser Paul Scarfe said he was not against hawkers when they did not clash with an existing business, but said it was unfair when they competed with an existing business. He gave an example of the chain hire and chain fitting service on the Ohakune Mountain Road this winter. Turn page 2

From page 1 "The chain fitting's fine, the chain hire should not be allowed," said Mr Scarfe. "Imagine a ski hire operating from the back of a truck?"
