The native camel will have to give way to the imported automobile here, as a result of a new law passed today by the Municipal Council banishing the camel from the busy port area.

The leisureliness of Palestine’s ancient beast of burden, it is stated, impeded considerably the flow of vehicular traffic in this rapidly modernizing city.
