CPBZSa ASSOCIATION TELEGRAM.)
DUNEDIN, March 22.
Replying to Mr G. W. Ferens’s criticism of Dunedin pedestrians at the South Island Motor Union meeting yesterday, the Chief Traffic Inspector, (Mr McNicol) stated that , Dunedin was a one-street city that, had difficulties not experienced in places where traffic was divided. .
The George and Princes streets paths would not' carry a large number of pedestrians and magistrates had always contended that there must be one night of freedom, .and the council had had to make a by-law prohibting cars to be on these streets longer than five minutes between 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. There were plenty of side streets for parking - motors, blit the point was that motorists would not walk a yard. The Mayor (the Rev. E. T. Cox) said that during a recent visit north he took note of traffic in Christchurch, Wellington, Timaru, Palmerston North, Wanganui, and New Plymouth, and found that generally conditions were similar to Dunedin.
