FINE OF £lO FOR DRIVER.
COMMENT BY MAGISTRATE. [from our own correspondent. ] TE AWAMUTU, Tuesday. "We are not going to have service car drivers tearing along narrow roads in this way," remarked Mr. Wyvern Wilson, S.M., in the To Awamutu Magistrate's Court yesterday when fining C. Grant, driver of a service car to Kawhia, £lO for speeding. The Waipa County Council inspector stated that complaint had been made that defendant had constituted himself a danger to other users of the roads, particularly children going to school. The magistrate said he would like to suspend the licence for three months, as a warning, but unfortunately the nature of the charge, one of speeding, would not allow him to do so. ( The traffic inspector stated Grant s speed was 46 miles an hour.
