OPEN EXHAUSTS.
"A CURSE TO CIVILISATION." '•'Rifle fire is nothing to it," said Mill. M. Garrick at last night's meeting of the Council of the Canterbury Automobile Association, when speaking with regard to the annoyance caused by. open exhausts on motor-cycles. He added that it was the custom of a numl>er of motor-cyclists to go quietly over the Colombo street south bridge and then proceed as noisily as possible. "You want to be in Lyttelton on a Sunday," said Mr G. S. Morris. "It is a curse to our present day civilisation," said the chairman (Mr F. W. Freeman^. After other members had quoted various instances of the manner in which motor-cyclists had flouted the by-law on the subject, it was decided to write to the surrounding local bodies urging the abolition of ''cut-outs," or proper control of them.
