A tally of tlu* trallie passing bis house on Broadway, near the Great South Road intersection, was taken by Mr. J. Roberts recently between 3.30 and 5 o’clock at Auckland. In the 70 minutes the vehicles which passed comprised 755 motor-ears, 104 tramcars, 67 motor cycles, 02 buses, 43 bicycles, 13 motor lorries and 4 horse-driven vehicles. The rate of traffic works out at 15 a minute. It is eloquent of the passing of the horse that of the total of 1048 vehicles only four went by horse-power.

He intended in future to take proeecd-ino-s in some of (he cases, as it did not seem a fair thing that the country should be scoured for missing books.
