Carriage Lamps a Necessity.
Nav York Commorcial AdYertiser.l

NEW YORK COmlnerclal AdNertlser.I
Except for the sentiment of the matter. il
is Just as disagreeable TO be run over by one
vehicle as by another. A hackney coach IS
not heavier than livery carriage, and team
of bays in a private equipage can smash the
life cut OF man quite as readily az the nags
who stumble ahead of q stage. Why then
should the traveller be exposed to peril from
private carriages. while pretense IS made OF
preventing accident by public vehicles, Be-
cause there are more of the former than of
the latter. and the peril maintained IS greater
than the danger prevented?
As carriages increase in number the danger
in the streets grows greater for pedestrians,
for children and for the drivers of other vo-
hicles And now a new element appears.
According to General Jourdan rubber tires.
heretofore confined to bicycles. are being
used upon carriage wheels and disaster glldes
noiseessly upon the victim.
IL is high time that the public take up this
evil and regulate it. There IS as pressing n
necessity for uniformity on the highways as
on the water where a standard system Is
agreed upon. Dazzling rehectors should be
prohibited. but every vehicle no matter what
It's description, should be compelled under
penalties to carry a lamp of some designated
kind upon all streets and roadways within
corporate limits
The streets are for the people, and the peo-
pie must be protected.
