GRAFTON BRIDGE TRAFFIC.

However, there appears to be no good reason why the local iutbority : should join the honnds in the hunt* A policeman told ma to-day that the force nowadays had no time to look Into complaints of theft, burglary, assault, etc.--tKo old routine of constable duty—ae it ijpeafc all its time investigating motor accidents or alleged breaches of by-laws by motorists. It, is in the interests of asotomts and pedestrians alike that the roles of the raid should be as simple possible and uniform: Why, for instance, ai'Jonld the ordinary role of the be reversed at Grafton Bridge, and confusion made worse confoanded f On the other side of Symond3 Street a big notice' board ironically calls oat "Keep to the Left," while on Grafton Bridge the direction is, " Keep to the Right. In elementary road instruction a man ht told tiiat ho must keep to the left to be righ'i, and that if ;ha goes to the right n«i'U be wrong. He begins to get used to the seeming paradox when ho comet* butt up against such an exception as e;,» Grafton I Bridge. Some people read the notice here: some don't, and follow the general direction to " keep to the left," I feave seen confusion and danger result, and would urge that Grafton Bridge ruies bs brought into line with the rest of the city.
