A direction in which the Doncaster police keep a vigilant eye is with regard to the non-observance of the regulations concerning vehicles for the conveyance of animals. During the past week several drivers of such vehicles have been prosecuted. The summOnses included the offences of failing to have a ramp, failing to provide proper footholds on the floor of a vehicle, neglecting to use side rails when unloading, and failing to cleanse and disinfect a vehicle between the conveyance of two consignments of animals. Fines ranged from 10s. to £2.
Fined 1150 on 97 Hours" Charges.
At Dunfermline Sheriff Court, on Monday, Sheriff Umpherston imposed a fine of £150 on J. Jesner and Sons, Ltd., a concern of hauliers, 84, Lum1A-titular's Road, Lochgelly, on 97 charges of working drivers for periods beyond the statutory 11 hours per day.
The Sheriff convicted in respect of :55 days between February 11 and June 28. 1935. He said the concern had made no arrangements for ensuring rest periods for drivers, as laid down by Statute_ He had warned the company previously, that it must revise its methods, but the caution seemed to
have been in vain. The defendant company had rendered itself liable to a cumulative penalty of £2,750.
Late Additions to Show Exhibitors.
It was announced on Tuesday that the following additions have been made to the list of exhibitors at the Commercial Motor Show:---In the vehicle section a display of trailers will be shown by Gottfried Lindner A.G., Arnmendorf, Schachtstrasse 18 (Stand 133). Additional exhibitors in the accessory section will be the Coventry Radiator and Presswork Co., Ltd., Raglan Works, Lower Ford Street, Coventry (Stand 167), and G. G. Riches Co., Ltd., 10, Store Street, London, W.1 (Stand 174).
A Minimum Standard of Street Lighting.
In its Interim Report the Departmental Committee on Street Lighting recommends a minimum standard of lighting for all traffic routes. It is considered that this should be one that will enable drivers to proceed with safety at 30 m.p.h. without headlights.
Traffic routes are defined as including all roads forming main approaches to, or which traverse, important centres of population, or pass through detached built-up areas on which there is appreciable pedest.ian traffic.
It is pointed out that the trend of design of lighting installations must have regard to the nature of roadsurfacing mateaials and dressing. .
The annual cost is estimated at from £300 to £400 pei mile. On the assumption that all classified roads in county boroughs and 20 per cent, of classified roads in counties are lighted to the appropriate standard, the cost would be about £3,500,000 per year.
