18、The following appeared in a letter to the editor of the Balmer Island Gazette.
"The population of Balmer Island increases to 100,000 duing the summer months. To reduce the number of accidents involving mopeds and
pedestrians1, the town council of Balmer Island., should limit the number of mopeds rented by each of the island’s six moped and bicycle
rental2 companies from 50 per day to 30 per day during the summer season. By limiting the number of
rentals3, the town council is sure to
attain4 the 50 percent reduction in moped accidents that was achieved last year in the neighboring island of Torseau, when Torseau’s town council enforced similar limits on moped rentals."
