BRIGHTER TAIL LIGHTS.
NEW REGULATION REQUIRED.
DANGER OF COLLISIONS.
Tlie chief traffic inspector recommended to the. City Council last night that the Government be requested to frame a regulation providing that the rear number plates of motor vehicles be placed on the rig-ht-hand side, and that all tail lights be of sufficient brilliancy to illuminate every numeral and letter on the identification plate. The council adopted , this recommendation, whieh, was contained in a report made after the return of a rider by the grand jury at tlie recent criminal sessions of the Supreme Court. The rider urged that more effective tail lights should be used on motor buses.
It was essential that tail lights ami number plates be placed on the righthand side of vehicles, since many collisions had occurred as the result of rear lights being on the other side, said the inspector 'in his report. Brilliant tail lig-hts were essential not only for purposes of identification, but as a "guide to motorists approaching from the^ear.
