SLIPPERY FOOTPATHS

Sir,—• May I congratulate you on drawing the attention of the public and the authorities to the danger of the slippery white lines painted on city footin'];} 1 ? 7 Twice I have nearly fallen within the last few days and I saved myself from a nasty crash only by clutching- more fortunate pedestrians. Obviously a citizen would have a good case against the council were he or she to suffer injury from this, so the authorities would be well advised to remedy the trouble.

from another Auckland evening pi per When Liberalism was at its lowest ebb there were not two men in New Zealand Who fought to keep it alive as Mr. Hall tokelton and I did. We were told by both Reform and Labour that our party did not exist. The election gave this the lie direct, but if there was an election tomorrow the Uniteds would not get 10 seats, and they would not. deserve them for supporting a policy which has shocked every lover of justice from the Bluff to the North Cape. We are arranging another great public demonstration and further cables will be sent to the League of Nations. MR. FIELD RIGHT AGAIN!
