TUT, TUT, MISS !
Bathing-Suit Inspector Left Standing SO MUCH CHEEK, TOO Recent elaborate by-laws regulating the type of dress to be used by bathers at Onehunga are not apparently meeting with universal approval,, if a letter received by the Onehunga Borough Council at its meeting last evening is correct. The official appointed by the council to maintain order and decorum on the beaches reported as follow: ‘‘A young woman will persist in bathing in a suit far too small. I have asked her to lengthen the top half, as it only comes to her hips. On March 14 I spoke to her about the suit, and she gave me so much cheek that I gave her five minutes to dress or leave the beach. She left the beach, and came back in a regular two-piece suit, but on the following day she returned to
the beach in the small suit, and when asked for her name, she refused to give it, and said she had not got a name, and left the beach."
Members of the council considered that the report was incomplete, as the name of the offender had not been given, and they decided for this reason to take no further action.
