TRAINS AND TRAFFIC.
♦ A NORTHERN PROBLEM. (PBESS ASSOCIATION TXLXQRAJi.) PALMEESTON NOETH, August 5. "Shunting trains about the Square appear to be one of the reasons for the deviation being wanted," observed Mr J. L. Stout, S.M., during the hearing of a ease in the Magistrate's Court this morning, when a motor-car driver was charged with crossing the railway line in the Square when it was not clear. "Traffic is often held np in thifway," added Mr Btout. "The railway yards appear to be the trouble. It should not be necessary to have to hold up traffic in the centre of the town. It is certainly very trying to have a goods train shunting as far as the War Memorial Monument (in the centre of the Square) and stopping there for some time."
