If there are difficulties in the Way of enforcing the traffic regulations in this municipality the Council in the interest of the people of Richmond Hill should take prompt action to see that the difficulties are re- moved. The responsibilities of their office will not permit them to merely appoint a con- stable and sit back with folded arms in “complacent indifference to conditions as they exist. We feel sure that all sane motor- ists agree with the opinion of the citizens of this community that traffic laws were made to be obeyed and enforced, not dis- regarded and winked at. gnoaonm VOL. L.
