NEW CITY BY-LAWS.

I • (Te the Editor.) Sir,—The Auckland City Council are notifying the general public of theit' u»s tention to pass a, new by-law prohibiting mechancally-driven vehicles from passing a stationary tram car during the process at picking up or setting down passengers. I cannot find anything in the proposed by-law in respect to horses and -■isr What is duty in respect f this by-law* If it is intended that Ss V c t,„v''' stop *h" •am" ss vnwor sars, then I for one will protest against What is wanted ia the limitation or of all vehicle -."bin 'h-" «*-y proper to six or not more than eight miles an hour. If I drove a horse and ,rt down Queen Street at fitteeo Vies an hour every constabl N would .» after' mc to lock mc up for "urious driving, and ri"h' ly, too; but n a f-ee country where each one is rcmosed t« he e-m* 1 ; - :i right to drive as I like, even if I do knock a few people down who are not active enough to get out of the way, or probably are a little short-sighted to protest aaainst the above by-law conairxx into force and to hep the council to frame just and equitable by-laws to safeguard their interest, for it 1= between stopping places where the < ircier lies.-J amTetc., HORSE DRIVER.
