THE NEW ACT ON LOCOMOTIVES ON ROADS.--
The new act for regulating locomotives on turnpike
and other roads will come into operation on the Ist Sept.
Three persons are to work a locomotive, and one is to pre-
cede on font with a red flag as notice of the approach of
the locomotive. On a turnpike road, or public highway,
a locomotive is not to proceed at a greater speed than four
milds an hour, and in a city, town, or village at not more
than twomiles an hour. The City of London, Metropolitan
Board of Works, and other local authorities are to appoint
the hours during which the locomotives may pass through
the streets. The act is only to continue in force for two
years, and may be regarded as an "experiment" on loco-
motives in public thoroughfares, both in the metropolis and
in the country.
