A CURIOUS anomaly of the law is to be tound in 1-1the fact that whilst the Road Traffic Act, 1930, obviated the need, by English law, to have the name and address of a 'vehicle owner painted on the vehicle, under the provisions of the Burgh Police (Scotland) Act, Section 381, Sub-section 50, every vehicle owner in .Scotland is required to do so, and Scottish users must be careful, as several have already been prosecuted for this omission.
THE other day an 11-year-old schoolboy flew by Imperial Airways 5,000 miles from Kenya Colony to enter a school in England. This instance draws attention to the fact that the small number of passengers on any one aeroplane makes it possible for each to receive individual personal care. DESPITE the fact that nearly all bur liquid feel is imported, much is unnecessarily wasted. In many traffic-congested areas vehicles are stationary for ten minutes or more, and even the drivers of those with electric starters in most cases neglect to stop their engines. Apart from the monetary loss, air pollution quickly becomes apparent.
IN view of the lessons which were learned In this
country as a result of the suspension of railway services in the general strike of 1926, it is more than surprising that rail interests in Ireland have paid so little attention to the dangers they were running. When trader S have experienced roadtransport convenience, they will not willingly go back to the rail. WE are informed that, once a week, private " speed cops," employed by the railways, patrol plain roads and make lists of lorries which they consider to be exceeding the legal limits of speed, these lists being sent in to the local chief constables. Surely the men could be better employed in promoting railway efficiency! Actions such as these can only bring into disrepute the policy of those concerned.
A -WELL-KNOWN sand and ballast haulier of Middlesex, namely, Mr. Ernest Clifford, was heard to say the other day that he is firmly of the opinion that rates in his area will, within the next few months, be standardized. We have observed. distinct signs of elimination of the worst forms of rate cutting, simply on the grounds that it is not economic, and recent improvement in the extent of co-operation between Middlesex hauliers is likely to show tangible results in the near future. MOTOR horseboxes have been busy, and many have been in service during the recent point-topoint races. Horse-transport contractors appear often. to let slip good opportunities for free publicity for their services. Between races time is available when spectators would be interested in looking over up-to-date horse-boxes on the course, yet frequently the vehicles are parked in obscure places.
AN admirable example of co-operation in the passenger-transport industry is provided by the action of the Motor Omnibus Proprietors Association (South Wales) in subscribing liberally to the Grey Coaches cause, of .which much has been written lately. Few members of the Association may benefit directly by the success of the Grey Coaches appeal, but their spirit in generously assisting other lessfortunate operators is most praiseworthy.
