Six streets met at this particular intersection. "I think the time has arrived," he oMj " when thia corner should have somebody on point duty. There are men .on point duty at other intersections in the city, and the'time is £ast arriving when the point duty men sliotjld be increased. But that i» k matter for the municipal authorities. I only hope that this will be a means of bringing home to the municipal authorities the necessity to increase point drity policemen."
