CORRESPONDENCE.
[To tub Editoh Wairakai'A Daily Times.]
Sir—Your correspondent' F.T.B,' is in error in supposing that no byelaw exists in Maaterton uuder which the police could prevent loitering and obstruction of the footpaths.. Byelaw No 40, section V. in tho Masterton Borough Bye-laws, provides that: "Any person who shall obstructor encumber auy footway or street by loiteiing or utanding thereon, to the inconvenience or annoyance of passrngei'3 or personn using such footway or street, after having been requested by a constable or pwce ofliccr to move on, shall be guilty of an offence." The maximum penalty is £5.
From the foregoing it will be seen that the police have full power to act, and can move tho Salvation Army, inoffensivo loiterers, or offensive larrikins, as tho oase may be, whenever thoy consider an obstruction exists,
I am, etc, PuDIiSTBIAH.
