NEW CARS WITH SAFETY BELTS
Response Found Disappointing Only seven of 1000 cars ■sted recently at the City ouncil’s vehicle testing ation were equipped with fety belts. It was a disuniting result, for it was rpected that the number ould be at least 100, said Mr F. Thomas, the City CounI’s traffic superintendent, sterday. He said that one of the ven cars had only a single fety belt. The other six d dual belts in the front »ts. The low percentage of cars uipped with safety belts is surprising after the pubity given to the added fety provided by safety Its when car accidents curred. Mr Thomas added that the e City Council had iproved the use of safety Its in all its cars.
