STREET SAFETY.
MAN HIS OWN POLICEMAN. LONDON, October 25. "Every man his own policeman" is Manchester's way of securing streetel ossing safety. , A cross-roads device is being installed where 310 point policeman is stationed by which pedestrians themselves, when they wish to cross the road, press a button, which registers '"Stop" on an automatic street signal. The indicator remains like this for 15 seconds. '"Pedestrians simply cannot cross the roads in safety at present," says the chief constable, who points out that the new signal cannot be abused, as it could not be used again until 45 seconds had elapsed.
