Commissioners to Modify Order Re-
gnrdinE Lights Mt Night.
Following a recent hearing OF prom
inent business men. the Commissioners
have decided to modify the order on We
hicle lights by an amendment excepting
all slow-moving vehicles from displaying
lights after nightfal1.
The sentiment OF Washington business
men on the matter may be seen IN a
letter received by the Commissioners
from w b. Moses & Sons. as follows:
we wish 10 enter our protests against
the authorities putting into force the rule
requiring vehicles Of every description 10
display lights at night.
1T Is rarely that a horse-drawn vehi-
Gle exceeds seven miles an hour, and in
most cases delivery wagons limit the
speed to about five miles an hour. IN
addition to the low speed there is also
the noise from the movements OF the
horse. which. combined with the low de-
gree OF speed. gives the pedestrian or
occupants OF other vehicles ample oppor-
tunity TO avoid danger. Therefore, IN
der the circumstances. we can see no
necessity for putting In force the rule
so far as II applies 10 horse-drawn con-
veyances."
