AGAIN HOISTED
ROAD SAFETY PENNANT SUGGESTION BY MINISTER (By Telegraph.—Press Association) WELLINGTON, Tuesday The Wellington road safely pennant was hosited again to-day. it now bears two black crosses, showing that since December 5 there have been two fatalities in the city and suburbs. When hauled down on February 10, as a result of a fatality, it was practically worn out and it was replaced today by one presented by the DeputyMayor. Mr Martin Luckie. chairman of thp committee dealing with road safety for the city.
There was some doubt prior to the first fatality which caused the striking of the old flag, whether it had not been up long enough in view of the fact that thp safety campaign was carried out some time previously and it had been decided to take it down on February 11 in any case, but the Minister of Transport, the Hon. R. Semple, has suggested that during 1938 cities should fly pennants to see which could achieve the longest fatality-free record. This, he says, would prepare for the centenial year traffic and keep (the need of saving lives before the citizens.
