ROAD TRANSPORT
INSPECTOR’S ACTION FUNDAMENTALLY WRONG. Several important transport matters were raised by Mr W. J. Broadfoot, M.P. for Waitomo, when discussing the Transport Estimates in the House of Representatives. Mr Broadfoot said that he had had brought to his notice that one er more of the traffic inspectors in his territory had some times been in the habit of driving the magistrate from town to town. It was an entirely improper thing that the man who nrosecuted should be in constant and close touch with the magistrate who tried the cases, and the practice should cease. The Minister of Transport (the Hon. R. Semple): We have no control in the matter, but I agree that it is totally and fundamentally wrong Mr Broadfoot said that he had better bring the matter to the notice of the Minister of Justice.
