MOTOR TRAFFIC.
The following circular letter was received from the Manawatu County Council at last night’s meeting of the Borough Council:—
“Motor Traffic.—Dear Sir: At last meeting of the above Council the question of motor accidents on public highways was discussed,) and it was decided that as accidents caused by collision between motor cars, motor cycles, and other vehicles arc occurring at an alarming rate, that local authorities be circularised with a view of taking combined action in having legislation passed which would give drastic powers to Alagistrates dealing with convicted of driving at excessive speed, or in a maimer which is dangerous to the public. That every driver of a motor vehicle must have a driver’s license before, he can drive, and that such license can he suspended by a Alngistrate in cases where a conviction has been entered. Further, that the amount of tine for breaches of the Act be increased to £IOO. AYe would ask for your support in bringing this matter before the Government and the local Alember for the district.”
The Council decided to endorse the action of the AJanawatu County Council.
