Another Tribute
Another Tribute.
From Mr. H. B. Duckworth, Chairman of the Rotary Reception Committee, Christchurch, to the District Traffic Manager, Christchurch:—
The Annual Conference of the Rotary Clubs of New Zealand, held the week before last, was voted by everyone a very distinct success, and the arrangements for the reception of visitors was specially commented on.
The arrangements made by yourself for receiving our guests at the Christchurch Station worked admirably, and these to a very large extent were responsible for the manner in which we were able to make contact with visitors arriving by train and steamer.
Would you please accept, on behalf of the Christchurch Club, our very sincere thanks for the favours conferred, and. I would appreciate if you would also convey to the Stationmaster at Christchurch and his officers our appreciation of the courteous treatment and many favours extended by them during that week.
