accused of being "vicious " during the past two months, at the monthly meeting of the city's Chamber of Trade, last week. Mr. F. Victor Mason claimed that the previous week a lorry had pulled up in York to unload 5 cwt. of goods, when a police inspector told the driver to return "when it was quiet."

As a resuIt, the driver had to carry his load 300 yd. to the business premises. According to Mr. Mason there had been two other similar incidents.

After a discussion lasting nearly two hours, it was agreed to "oppose with all possible vigour" the City of York

Traffic Regulations (No. 2 Order), 1957, dealingwith no waiting and unilateral parking, until reasonable central car parks were available.

Members said they understood that traders would be able to have their goods delivered despite "no waiting" restrictions. The chairman, Councillor R. Scobey, said that the police had been most co-operative although they had a difficult job.

• Supt. W. B. Martin Scott, of York CityPolice, said that he thought Mr. Mason's words were ill-chosen. The local force tried to be extremely tolerant, but their job was to cater for all road users.
