The last legislature enacted a law,
which becomes operative July : pro-
viding that every vehicle on wheels
whether stationary or in motion shall
have attached at least one light so dis
played as to be visible from the front
and rear, one hour after sunset and
one hour before sunrise. The only ex-
emption made was vehicles for the
transportation of hay. wood. lumber
or stone. Anyone driving a vehicle
without such lights is subject to ar
rest and fine. In nearly every other
state in the east all vehicles must
carry lights. Two years ago, New
Hampshire enacted such law without
exemptions. While in this state heavy
teams are exempted. as a matter Of
safety and precaution they should fall
in line with the others.
