tions Tuesday night by Chairman
Beacham of the civil service com- !
mission to have his department
rigidly enforce the ordinance
against the burning of bright or
glaring lights, on automobiles and j
motor vehicles running on tho!
streets of the ciyt. |
The chairman’s instruction to .
the chief followed the unanimous i
decision by the commission that a .
renewal of effort by the polico '
was necessary, following their re-
ccpt activity against the practice
of motorists using their bright
lights, as the practice is again on
the increase, and the chief was in
structed to order the police to
make cases against all motorists
running with bright or glaring
lights on their cars in the city af
ter Thursday at nightfall.
LIGHTS THAT
ARE BANNED
The commission’s order covers
all head lights except the “dim
mer lights” with which most cars
are equipped, or lamps equipped
with frosted globes ami corrugated
lenses. There is no distinction in
the commission’s meaning of
a “bright light” or a “glaring
