MOTOR TRAFFIC.

TO THE EDITOR. Sir, —The safety of pedestrians now demands some restrictions being put upon users of motor vehicles in our main thoroughfares, otbonuso during the 'next few months fiediden ts are almost certain in occur, with probable loss of life. Tlio City Council has, amongst other things, shown commendable business acumen by catering for those people who wish to “ride on wheels,” but it has a duty to perform as well, in protecting pedestrians Torn tho eccentricities of motor car Irivers, including corporation buses. During the hours between noon and 1.30 p.m., “one way” only, going north, should he allowed on Princes street from Mamsc street to the Octagon for ja.ll motor vehicles, and between 4.1*0 and G.fiO p.m. all _ motor traffic should bo entirely prohibited in the same area, it seems an unwritten law that motor car owners must have always to keep to tho places where trailifc iis most congested, but they should bear in mind that the streets these days are mostly filled with visitors, and the envy they wish to create is “ lost upon the desert air.” After our Exhibition doses and we have dropped into our regular ways again, motor owners can have their revenge on those who walk from choice or otherwise..—l ara etc., December 17. One or Them.
