ABILL to empower highway authorities to install cattle-grids in public highways was introduced last week by

• the Minister of Transport, Mr, Alfred Barnes, in the House of Commons.

Where landowners have the righf to keep gates closed across a public road which traverses their land, the substitution of grids for gates would give free paisage to vehicles, and be just as effective as gates in preventing cattle from straying, says the Ministry. Cattle-grids usually consist of a grating of 'parallel metal bars, placed transversely, across a road over a shallow pit. Animals instinctively fear to walk on them.
