Port Moresby, June 26.
THE new Papua and New Guinea Motor Traffic Ordinance comes into effect on August 1 of this year, and from then on all motor vehicles must be regis tered.
The new legislation also provides very wide control over motor traffic, and will end the happy-go-lucky era which has existed in Papua since the war, so far as road traffic has been concerned.
This lack of control has been exercising
the minds of many responsible people in the Territory, and the Ordinance, al though it imposes registration fees and other regulations, is welcomed.
In fact, insofar as Papua is concerned, it is one of the very few instances of where the general public has been anxious for institution of control. The situation in New Guinea is somewhat different, as registration and some control has been in force there under a New Guinea ordinance.
