QUESTION OF, POLICE CONTROL. (By OWegr&ph.-PreJi Association.) Auckland, February 7. Interviewed this afternoon ' regarding tho police control of the city traffic, the Mayor of Auckland (Mr.' Parr) expressed the opinion that tho idea was a capital, one. .-' . ■ ; : '' "I have," said Mr, Parr, "on more than ono occasion urged that the police (should control the street traffic of. large; cities. Now that tho Government has. made ar-r rangements with ; tho Wellington,' City Council, there is no reason why thoy should, not make, arrangements with Auckland.
