LIGHTING REGULATIONS

(To the Editor.) Sir, —As a reader of your paper, and j knowing that you give any good cause { fair publicity, I wish to protest regarding this black-out business. I assume that regulations were made to be carried out. Having spent two of these three nerve-racking weeks on night shift, maybe I am grouchy, but what is wrong with the powers-that-be that these laws are treated as a joke? I am compelled to drive a blacked-out tram, and face a veritable battery of searchlights all night, and nothing done. Perch yourself up in the front of a tram and you will understand what I mean. On some cars all lights are burning and the new 1941 style spotlight, or, to be fair, searchlight, is much in evidence. Why worry about poor shopkeepers: let our law-makers get out on the road, use extra men on the night shift, and do something to stop this farce, if they are serious,, as this motor headlight glare is the sky glow they are looking for, and cannot locate, because it keeps moving, and they must chase it. Certainly they wilt not catch it sitting in office chairs.—l am, etc., FED UP. (To the Editor.) Sir. —Can anyone inform me as to the power that street wardens have in regard to lighting? There was a case recently of a Lyall Bay man being fined for non-compliance with lighting regulations, but the matter of liability appears to have been dropped. If wardens have the power, why can't, or don't, they use it to correct the numerous anomalies in the black-put?—l am, etc., [ FULL BLACK-OUT.
