THOUGHTS FOR THE TIMES
The Traffic .Tam. The Alan from Norfolk Island, in.vestignting municipal problems ill Auckland, so that he may not be acquainted with modern traffic regulations when lie returns, was asked whether the London style of one-way traffic or the Auckland style of “ears before citizens” had been adopted in that paradise. As a matter of fact, he said, there is a distinct traffic problem in Norfolk, and. of course, it is a motor problem. There is one twosililer Henry on the island—the only power vehicle in The settlement. Naturally it presents a problem. Was this devastating innovation to disturb the domestic serenities of the people? Could not this rush of traffic be regulated? Protests were made, and the owner of the car was given permission to use his vehicle only twice a week bee'Juse it frightened the settlers 'horses. Presumably on the two terrific days in which the ear was allowed to appear in public the settlers’ horses were safely stabled.
