DOING GOOD WORK.

Magistrate’s Greetings to Traffic Inspectors.

“ The Traffic Department is doing good work and the motorists and public generally are gradually getting road sense. It will take some years to instil it into them, but when they have grasped road sense I feel sure that there will not be half the cases to come before me that there are at the present time. In the meantime I trust in the discretion of the traffic inspectors to avoid long lists of cases.”

In these terms Mr E. D. Mosley, S.M., gave seasonal greetings from the bench at the Magistrate’s Court this morning to the Chief Traffic Inspector, Mr H. Macintosh, and his fellow officers.

In expressing greetings from his department to the Bench, Mr Macintosh said that it was his hope that there would be less trouble with cases in the new year. The department was fully occupied and seemed to be pressed with more cases than proper attention, could be given to. Major O. Barnes, of the Salvation Army, expressed appropriate sefotimentfs on behalf of the social workers connected with the Court.

“ I am quite sure that the Bench fully appreciates the work that is being done by the Salvation Army throughout New Zealand,” replied Mosley. “ Its effort are worthy of all support.”
