ROAD MOTOR MIRRORS.
A controversy has divided the residents of Ealing into two parties which may be called the " Safety Mirrorites " and the " Anti-Safety Mirrorites." Recently two mirrors, many feet square, and inclined at an angle, were placed on Ealing Green. They snow motorists coming along High Street in each direction what traffic is entering from the Grove, at right angles. A similar contrivance of double mirrors is stationed up Hanger Lane, on the edge of Ealing Common. Underneath and over tho mirrors is displayed an advertisement. On behalf of the " Anti-Safety Mirrorites " the Chamber of Commerce ha:i sent a letter of protest which is to come before the town council. The letter declares that the mirrors are " unsightly " and " lacking in the dignity suitable to such a high-class borough as Ealing." It demands tho removal, at any rate, of the advertisements. Motoring opinion in Ealing is strongly on the side of the mirrors.
Not only do tho mirrors picture what )3 round the corner, it i 3 pointed out, but they do this in such a perplexing manner that the rashest driver is per suaded to proceed warily.
