ShOrey Suggests

"Inasmucn as the applications for
automobile registrations for the sea-
son of 1928 are now being received by
the secretary of state, l desire to call
special attention to questions No. u
and No 90" remarked Ii. A. Shorey,
Jr., of the motor vehicle law enforce
ment division of hte State Highway
Commission, in speaking Thursday of
the matter of headlight equipment on
motor vehicles.
"Question 10 calls for an answer as
to the kind of lens with which the
vehicle is equipped and question 20 re-
quires the applicant to state as to
whether or not he has complied with
the rules and regulations of the State
Highway Commission regarding lights.
Just to refresh the memories of the
automobile owners on this point |
would like to quote paragraph from
the rules ana regulations of the COM
mission which were approved by the
governor and council January q. 1922
ION and after May l, 1922. no cleo
trio headlight shall be used on any
motor vehicle on the highways of this
State unless the same is equipped with
device designed to prevent glazing
rays which shall hereafter be approved
by the State Highway Commission of
the state of Maine. Said device shall
be adjusted and the incandescent bulb
used in connection herewith shall be
focused in accordance with the manu-
facturer's instructions or in accordance
with the rules and regulations of the
State Highway Commission. which are
made a part of the certificate of APP

that no portion of the beam of light
when projected Is feet or more ahead
of the lamps shall rise above plane
AZ inches higher than and parallel with
the level surface on which the vehicle
stands.

Mr. Shorey, that this question No. 20
