CURIOUS BEHAVIOUR.
Sir, —Tito residents of the Hutt and their Borough Council have always boon esteemed ns kindly self-respecting people._ but they now wem to have lost their heads over motor traffic. At a recent council meeting the prosecution of motorist offenders -was snoken of as a source of revenue. At the time this was assumed to be jocular, but this
month complaint is made in the council of the Court reduction of fines from 20s. to 10s., and Ministerial influence is to be sought to induce Magistrates to inflict heavier fines—a proposal which perhaps is not a crcditablo one to tho council. Fines are not intended as a source of revenue, and in the absence of accidents tho worthy councillors arc unduly disturbing themselves.—l am, etc., • RESIDENT.
