POLICE CONTROL
. Sir,—Reading all the lettets re Police Control-—most of them seem to miss the mark—the argument? was—are intoxicated njen to be allowed to take charge of oars? Are bars to be opened at all hours? Cannot something be done to help matters? One letter reads: "Our police officers are immaculately uniformed."' We are not interested with feibis side of the business—we only want to see their uniforms more often. The hotelkeepers can save their clients a lot of misery and disgrace by watching the conduct of those frequenting their premises who are making themselves a danger to oth-ei-s. Only last week a car driven through Goui stone Road dashed, against an electric pole—and tore it down—result £20 or £30 damage. Earlier a cyclist was only narrowly missed. Your correspondent of the sth says "the liquor traffic is one of the biggest sources of revenue." Are our people to pay the price not only with their money—but their bodies and souls. We do not Avant to embarrass our police—let them go ahead and do their duty and, believe me the public will be behind them. Yours etc., O.—TWIST.
