To the Editor of the Nortu-Catva Dairy News.
Si,—Ie strikes a casual observer that the Model Settlement lacks one regulation essential pro bone public. In cycling up Carter Road to-day towanls the Settle: ment I passed a stu ponies being led by their mafoos, naturally and lawfully led the ponies on the left hand side of the carriage rout but on the right hand side of the riding carriage road bei the ponies rather fr make headway esp several ricshas and wheelbarrows on the road. Now I would suggest for the consideration of the Council's T'raftic Inspector, that we should follow the example of Australia and the Continent and order all led ponies to be walked on the right hand side of the road. As the mafoo is always on the pony's left, this would prevent any passers-by from beii convenienced or coming into too close contact with a pony's hoofs. We have all on many occasives seen children and ladies startled by the sudden shy of pony, and I daresay have ourselves experienced a nasty seusition from the same caus Lhold that the simple regulation, sug: above, would be of material benefit to the Settlement.
