COMMONS AND MOTORISTS.
[To THE EDITOR. or vex " SPECTATOR...1 Sta,--,Owners of motor-cars are mostly rich people, and it is to be hoped that they will respond liberally to-your appeal on behalf of the Commons Preservation Society. As the Rev: Gerald S. Davies points out, they-ought to feel that they owe some reparation to the rest of the community for the annoy- ance which they inflict. Bat I am afraid that humbler wayfarers and quiet lovers of nature will hardly be converted into enthusiastic supporters of the fund by the picture which your editorial note calls up of parties of motorists from London eating and drinking on our rural commons, while their cars stand by the side of the road, vibrating noisily and emitting noxious fumes. In any case stringent by-laws should be passed making it punishable to leave behind sandwich papers, chicken bones, or empty bottles.—I am, Sir,
A PEDESTEJAN.
