FOR LIGHTS ON VEHICLES
Discussion of the Regulations at District
Building Today.

The Commissioners this morning gave a
hearing to the Liverymens Association,
who desire that section II of the police
regulations, requiring all vehicles to be
lighted after dark, be SO amended as to
require only rubber-tired vehicles to be
lighted.
President w. w. Chambers of the Livery
mems Association acted as the spokesman
of that organization, the following men,
bers being present: Thomas Geary, ]. q.
Bowen, F. z. Hackney, j. A. Berry, j. H.
Gheen. l.. F. Hazel, E. Burgdorf w. c.
Downey, Zurhorst and A. II. Bond.
To enforce the section of the police reg
uations as it now stands, said Mr.. Cham
bers, would work unnecessary hardsilips
on liverymen and others. He claimed that
it is not necessary to place lights on
vehicles other than those equipped with
rubber tires. insisting that the ordinary
vehicles are noisy that their approach
would be made known without lights He
also asserted that it would be Impossible
to enforce the regulation as it now stands,
even if the police force should be trebled.
Streets Well Lighted.
Replying to Commissioner Wight, Mr.
Chambers said that the streets are SO well
lighted that there can be no danger to
pedestrians or other vehicles because Of an
absence of lights on vehicles.
The enforcement of the section in uues-
ton. stated Mr.. Chambers, would mean the
expenditure of considerable money by men
who are barely, as rule making expenses.
He also commended that the regulation had
not only proven impracticable here but
elsewhere.

tention to the fact that at the demand of
the people who walk the cities of New

also called attention to the small number
of rubber tired vehicles here, probably not

Messrs. Hackney, Zurhorst and others

lation as proposed. but it is not at all prob
