SILENT POLICEMEN.
(To the Editor.) • Sir, —I note that it is suggested that our familiar “fried eggs” be removed and replaced by white lines—a very foolish and dangerous proposal, in my opinion. What particular notice does the average motorist take of white lines? Most of the lines at presentin evidence are well cut by traffic, and the right angle turn necessitated by our yellow friend is just the thing to steady drivers and prevent accidents. No, I would advocate still more silent policemen, and one on, the Frankton road would probably have prevented a recent fatal accident; and, further, speeding motorists should be tempered down a little by good solid fines, to be followed, if necessary, by cancellation of license. I may add that I drive a car rnysplf, and so I am not voicing a pedestrian grouch.—l am., OBSERVER. Hamilton, September 30, 1927.
