CONTROL OF HAWKERS
DEVONPORT’S VIEWS COUNCIL MEETING The Devonport Borough Council last evening decided not to support the Hikurangi Chamber of Commerce in its request that hawkers should be brought under more stringent control. The chamber complained of the competition by hawkers against businesses and shops, which paid rates and taxes, and urged that hawkers of foodstuffs and periodicals, who did not now have to take out licences, should lose their exemption. If the local bodies did not wish to bother about hawkers’ licences, the Department of Internal Affairs should be asked to issue licences, and distribute the fees among the local bodies. Caustic comment was made on the action of the Post and Telegraph Department in breaking up footpaths in Lake and Old Lake Roads, which have just been laid down and asphalted. The United Football Club was granted permission to have a “charge day” ’on the Domain next Saturday. The request of the Ngatai'inga Tennis Club for permission to erect a pavilion was referred to a joint meeting of delegates from the council, the tennis club, and the Stanley Bay Improvement Association. The tennis club has permission to run an art union to raise funds.
