THE foolish effort to force automobiles into
i garages at night, thus swelling the Golfers
OF garage owners, will come to nothing Public
sentiment against such move is too we'll defined.
The extra expense thus sadded on the shoulders
of District people would be too heavy-and no use
full purpose would be served
But while District authorities show disposi-
ton to treat with the contempt they deserve all
these i-intentioned efforts it is essential that car
owners keep well within the law when leaving their
machines over night in front of their houses
The menace Of automobile standing at night
without parking light is admitted by everybody.
dark" car presents possibilities of all sorts of
trouble and expense. Indeed the danger of a
dark car on a dark or foggy night hardly can be
overestimated Parking motor vehicles minus lights
has come to be an unfortunate practice on many
Washington streets. The law is perfectly plain on
the subject and those who disregard the statute
impose upon the tolerance and good nature of the
police
Thus far we have heard of few accidents due
to dark cars. This however, largely has been
due to sheer luck. Such condition cannot be
permitted to continue.
