An item in THE News last week, refer
ring to the law requiring lights to be dis
played on wagons, was all right as far as
1t went, but 1t did not go far enough. The
Item implied that lights must be displayed
so as to show only In the direction the
vehicle is going. This is not correct.
The law requires lights to be SO displayed
that they can be seen 200 feet distant In
the direction which the wagon is going,
and $50 feet in the direction from which
1t is going. The light must be plainly
visible In both directions. Many wagons
have lights which are hung on the dash
board, or in front of the wagon, showing
light only one way. This is clearly
illegal and the person who so displays a
light, is subject to arrest and punishment.
