PROTEST BY COUNTY
Fewer Traffic Inspectors A protest will be made by the Malvern County Council at a Transport Department decision to reduce traffic inspection visits to the county. The Clerk (Mr B. W. Perrin) said that because of the transfer of the present inspector, Malvern would be linked with Ellesmere County and have an inspection visit one day each week. Cr. D. W. Mulholland said that last winter, 4500 cars passed through Darfield one Sunday, at one stage at the rate of one every five seconds. Cr. J. N. Murchison said he had not seen an inspector at Lake Ida for three years. A visit by an inspector would at least “steady things down a bit.” An inspector at Lake Lyndon on winter sports weekends would be a help, said Cr. C. C. Innes. The council agreed that, especially in view of the volume of winter sports traffic, the county should ask the department to provide at least as good a service as it had been getting.
