SAFETY FIRST FOR FERRY PASSENGERS
CROSSING INTO QUEEN STREET
Complete satisfaction with the new traffic precaution for the safety of trans-harbour passengers was expressed to-day by the secretary of the Devon port Steam Ferry Company Ltd. (Mr. Morton). When ferry passengers leave the Ferry Buildings now the traffic officer on point duty raises his white-gloved hand and assures them a safe passage from the buildings into Queen Street. “This is very necessary,” said Mr. Morton, “and it has been badly required for years. I feel certain that North Shore passengers will greatly appreciate the courtesy.” The action of the City Council in permitting motor-cars to park in this vicinity was strongly criticised by Mr. Morton, who declared that the traffic was far too great in this neighbourhood for any such provision.
