TUESDAY, AUGUST "a, 1909

THERE is much complaint because the
new law regarding the carrying by car
riages of lighted lamps is not more fully
complied with. The driver of wagon
ought to be willing to carry light as it
is as much for his protection as for that of
the person he meets. On recent Sunday
evening In drive from Pemberton to
Mount Holly ten carriages were passed,
four of which had lights, four had lamps
that were not lighted, and the other two
did not have sign Of light. Some of
the lamps carried do not comply with the
law, which provides that "a light" must
be seen for at least $50 feet. A fine or two
would have wholesome effect and it
would not be a bad idea for the automo-
bilists to look after the matter. At the
same time they should keep up to the
law as they do not light up as soon as
they ought to sometimes On Sunday
evening two machines went through
Mount Holly at good speed without
having their lamps lighted.
