It. B. Hammond. town planning consulting engineer, said the restriction against ’buses in Queen Street was unnecessary. He suggested the removal of tne safety zones and centre poles, specified crossings for pedestrians, and a reduction, in the speed of vehicles. The judge said that at the present stage he was disposed to think that possibly some arrangement coujd be made whereby the ’buses could he allowed in Queen Street on Sundays and at such times in the evening as traffic conditions would permit. There did not seem to be any evidence to ffche effect that the congestion was a serious matter after about 6.30 p.m. Thatj aspect, however, could be considered! later. Mr. Meredith, for the 'Bus Proprietors’ Association, addressed the court, contending that the by-law was ultra vires. The case was adjourned til 1 , to-dav. FAEM BOOTS.
