The street railway company has
adopted new light rs headlight for
its cars. The new lamp is an arc lamp
of strong candle power, which throws a
white binding light distance of 1000
feet 1t is a great improvement over
the small incandescent light heretofore
used. The light is so powerful as to be
binding to automobile drivers facing it
and therefore dangerous to the latter
in the'fact that they are liable to swerve
their machines into curbstone or OBJ
struction or run into another machine
or rig For this reason the street car
company will put ground glass on the
lights to dissolve the strong rays and
reduce the binding effect.
