50.

TRAF.FIO PROB1.EIv!S

51. This departcient was confronted with a parking Pl.'(~··)J '51 in the Oi ty of St. John's which was due ma.:i.l'lly to the \ j :~'1 increase in vehicular traffic and limited parking fac~~_~e~.

52. There was a decrease in the nuober of traffic contra­ventions fo.r the year 1977. This was 'due to the vigilant 0
