LIGHTS ON VEHICLES.
Another Cycling Paper Ha Taken [

Another Cycling Paper Ha S Taken Up
the Fight on Thi s Line.
Wheeling has this TO say about lights on
vehicles:
THE demand for an observance Of the
law Which calls for the carrying of lights
by all vehicles after dark in places where
such law exists, is growing rapidly. Also
there is q strong feeling amongst the COM
munity, that in places where no such law
exists, and where only the riders of bicycles
are compelled to carry lights after dark.
Some such law should be enacted.
.Hrierc-fs every reason why all kinds of
vehicles should carry lights after dark, and
scarcely an argument can be advanced why
they should not.
In and around our large cities, SO many
vehicles are used after dark and the
most OF them for purposes of pleasure and
Tor the transportation cf passengers, and
SO many of these vehicles are bicycles. that
it has become necessity TO have lighted
lamp OF some Kind upon each. Up To the
present the law has been enforced only in
the case Of bicycles, but the sentiment is
growing that carriage without lights at
night is a dangerous thing, not only TO
those who use the bicycle, but TO pcdcs-
TRANS, and to the users of other car.
riaees.
THE introduction OF the rubber tire for
carriage wheels has also rendered neces-
sary some such la w as will compel uni
yersal-carrying ofiighted lamps fter dark
by all vehicles"
