FOR TRAFFIC POLICE.
Point, duty. police in Windsor now wear white overalls and white gloves, in order to render them clearly visible to drivers (says the Autocar), It been suggested recently that the general adoption of a similar scheme in London, as now in vogue in several provincial centres, would be advantageous. The Minister of Transport recently stated, however, that he docs not consider white overalls necessary in the mctropolis. ■Credit is duo to the Birmingham civic authorities for the issue of white equipment to the city point duty police. At one busy point, also in that city, a spot lamp renders the constable's signals more conspicuous.
The Main Highways Board grants subsidies to county councils for direction posts on application by those bodies. It is up to automobile associations to put in applications to the ■city councils for signposts where wanted and get the grant.
