"KEEP TO THE LEFT."
WELLINGTON'S FIRST DAY.
iPH.PRESS ASSOCIATION.J WELLINGTON. Saturday.;
The keep to the left rule for pedestrians was observed in Wellington to-day for the first time. Overnight portions of the footpaths in the main streets were chalk-marked, at the start of each "line
aing a prominent notice, '"Keep to .the
Left!" Generally the , people seeined;; to adapt themselves to the new order; ! and
there was little or no confusion. In a few instances stupid people got .on the wrong side arid persisted in staying there; but, considering the crowds in the streets, especially at rush hours, the new departure may be regarded as a success.
