CHECKING AUTO NUIsANCEs.
Live Towns Can Stop Offenses From
This Source If They Choose,

1.-Two OWLS YAH 0lOP OITSHSSS from
This Source if They Choose.
From at least two major points Of
view earnest commentator is to be
given TO amy campaign against the au-
tomobiie smoke nuisance in streets
and also to the movement to compel
the operators of such vehicles to stop
spilling oil III the pavement or road.
Both these practices are indisputably
unpleasant and offensive and probably
injurious and dangerous. and both are
susceptible of abatement. There can
be no question of the right and power
of the health and police departments
to deal with such matters.
The occasional emission of smoke
from automobiles is probably unavoid-
able and eXcusable. But for a car to
run mile after mile with a dense trail
OF acrid smoke pouring from it is not
eXcusable. 1t is not necessary, and if
1t We're it would constitute a pretty
strong argument for excluding the car
from the highways altogether. The
smoke is certainly exceedingly IN
pleasant to the senses, and in many
cases it may be positively injurious to
the visual and respiratory organs Of
those who are exposed to it.
The spilling and stopping Of Oil on
the streets until they are saturated
with it and dotted with puddles of it
are also ~ineKcusable nuisances. 1t
fills the air with a bad smell, it makes
the streets dangerously slippery to
walk on, and it often is a cause of
soiling and practically running cloth
ing and other articles. Now and then.
as i'll the case of smoke. a little oil
Will. of course. get spilled on the
street. But there is no reason for
any such wholesale effusion of it as is
to be observed in this city. Either a
little more care or the provision Of
drip pans to catch it is all that is
needed to abate the nuisance.
The other point of view from which
both these practices are to be regarded
IS that Of the selfish interest Of those
who are guilty of them. 1t is a we'll
known fact that Il smoking motor is q
motor which is being improperly used
and is therefore being injured. The
~ hlN SIuSc LIE SluOhe
caus" injury to the mechanism. Thus
the chauffeur who permits his car to
smoke is iniuring the car as well as
affecting the public.
OF course in the other Ease the oil
which is poured on the street is oil
wasted. and that means increased eX-
pensc Of operating the car. If the
abatement Of these %nuisances meant
increased expense to the owners or
drivers of cars it should still be in
sisted upon for the welfare of the pub
lie. But since. on the contrary, it will
mean a decrease of their expenses and
therefore the promotion of their own
good there can be no reasonable re-
sistance or objection to it.
The town authorities should be ever
vigilant against offenses of this char
acter. A concerted crusade might be
instituted by citizens of any town and
the offending automobile owners made
to answer for their carelessness, for
carelesSncss it is and nothing else.

man who chooses to pay a few dollars
for them, but is an asset of the COM
munity at large, and one of these days
the people of a commercial community
will appreciate the fact that, to put it
in terms of trade, beauty is a valuable
asset as well as a "joy forever"
How offensive to the lover of beauty
such advertising means must be is well
illustrated by something I CHANGED to
see only a little while ago. If you are
near the head of Newfound lake, in
New Hampshire, it may be that you
will pause near a turn in the road on
the north shore at a place where you
have the waters of the lake on your
right hand and a huge overtowering
hill on the left.
You look across the waters of the
lake ten miles and then up to the hills
beyond upon a scene that is almost in
comparable in its beauty, but if you
change the angle of your vision a de-
gree your eyes meet the huge adver-
tsement of a Bristol druggist painted
on the bare rock. Few men can stand
in such scenery unmoved, and as one
turns from 1t to the unacceptable advice
on the rock one feels that such a per-
petration is not only a nuisance, but
1t is an outrage on the public and in
such a presence an insult to the Gre
ator.

ers of civic beauty. This contest is as
much in the interest of material bust

found those who make but light of
such objections and care not them

then there is that other objection which
never yet has failed to hold in its grip
the American ~people-viz, the objection
that such disigurements destroy money

What may be fairly claimed is the

might appear, as President G. w. Muir
