PAPAKURA TOWN BOARD

The Papakura Town Board met on Monday evening, Mr. James McCall presiding.

i The traffic inspector reported that he had warned several youths for on footpaths, car owners for no headlights and no tail lights, and that repetition would lead to prosecution. The Franklin branch of the AJA.A. advised that Mr. H. H. IVynyard, the motorists’ representative on the Highways Board, had arranged to give an addresat Pukekohe dealing with the boards affairs. The chairman of the fire brigade management committee appealed to the board to request residents to turn off all water taps in the event of an alarm of fire being given, so that a full pressure would be available to the brigade. The Auckland Automobile Association wrote with regard to the Papakura board’s application of a by-law fixing a restriction speed limit through the whok length of the Great South Road through Papakura, and suggested that the regulation in itself was sufficient to govern traffic within the board’s district. The slight difference of five miles an hour could neither be accurately judged, nor would it mean the difference between danger and safety. Onehunga’s abandonment of local restriction, they submitted. was ample for all. The TraflV Control Committee was requested to look into the matter. The Guiliard Quarry Company’s tender for 600 yards of metal at 8s 5d vas accepted.
