§ Mr. BarnesI have no power to authorise the placing of this shelter on the highway, but my divisional officer indicated last month that I would raise no objection provided that it was set back a proper distance from the main carriageway. Various inquiries and consultations were necessary for the proper consideration of the proposal.
