 The Meriden Republican says the liverymen in that city have discovered an interesting point iD the new lantern law which the law makers in Hartford overlooked. So far as the law concerns bicycles, it is easy enough of enforce ment if the police catch an offender, for the police are authorized to hold a wheel as security for the appearance in court of the culprit. In the provision relating to rubber-tired vehicles, the statute provides that the person driving or directing such vehicle is liable. This the foxy iverymen of Meriden say, let's them out, and one liveryman says the people who hire rubber-tired vehicles must furnish their own lights or take the consequences Suck ruling is not likely to become general among liverymen, however.
