ROTORUA NOTES
Mr. F. C. Bunyard, borough engineer, has resumed his duties after a refresher course in Christchurch in connection with sanitary work.
Senior-Inspector Armer, of the Auckland Health Department, is visiting Rotorua on departmental business.
. The Rotorua Motor-Cycle Club visited its dirt track on the Atiamuri Road on Sunday, but did not consider it to be in a suitable condition to do any speeding. To maintain club interest, a reliability trial will be held on Sunday next.
Major Cowper, of Hamilton Airways, was the speaker at the Rotary luncheon. He stated that air flying was as yet only in the taxi stage, and the main thing to be considered was the formation of as many instructional schools as possible. Commercial flying was only in its infancy. He added that any area in the vicinity of the Government Gardens was not suitable for a landing ground because of the menace to children in the playing areas. Also, at a height of 1,500 above some of the hot pools, such as the Postmaster, the air was heated and bumpy and very difficult to fly in.
