STREET CROSSINGS.

Sir, —I notice from your report of the proceedings of the City Council meeting held last Thursday that it is intended to enforce a by-law requiring pedestrians to negotiate certain crossings in the city at a particular angle. While agreeing with Mr. Entrican that such a by-l<?w is unnecessary and vexatious in a small _ ciky such as this, 1 suggest to the authorities, when it is sought to enforce it, that a number of officers from the army of traffic inspectors be stationed at certain points, notably the four corners at the junction of Queen and Customs Streets,, to keep the footpaths and kerbings clear of those who apparently have nothing to d<? but obstruct others who wish to about the streets on their legitimate business; also to see that the vehicular traffic held up by the officer standing in the centre of the road halts on the near side of the crossing provided for pedestrians, and not directly across it as is too often the case. Busy MAN.
