TRAFFIC CONTROL
IN MASTERTON BOROUGH Masterton, February 28. “It is quite impossible to expect that the police should provide constables for point duty at the corner of the post office and"the intersection of Perry and Queen Streets,” remarked Sergeant Dyer to a Dominion representative, in commenting on the resolution passed at the recent meeting of the Alasterton Chamber of Commerce. He said that many larger towns in New Zealand with a greater volume of street traffic were able to do without constables on point duty, and it would be a long time before it became necessary to make such provision in Alasterton. The sergeant said it was to be regretted that the borough council had seen fit to dispense with the silent policemen that had been placed at the corners in dispute, as they had served to regulate the traffic in a manner which had been more than satisfactory. The supplanting of these guides by white marks resulted only in traffic cutting the corners and had been responsible for the complaints that had been voiced by members of the chamber. A course more to be favoured was to revert to the silent policemen.
