The first pedestrian crossing in the Wairarapa has been put down in Carterton, near the Post Office. At a recent Borough Council meeting this matter was discussed, principally in the interests of the safety of children attending the school in Holloway Street. The crossing was put down yesterday and it is hoped that pedestrians. old and* young, will use it and thus save risk of a motor accident. Residents should make themselves conversant with the rules to be observed now that the crossing is in existence, and save themselves from ths law by non-observance.
