The State Department of Public Works yesterday revoked the garage license in Reading. Officials cited violations and the action halts all operations at the facility pending further order.
The license of John W. Day of Reading, a chauffeur for the garage, was suspended for violating regulations governing the new lens law. This marks the first time a garage license has been suspended under automobile law regulations in the state.
The violation was flagrant as garage crews know the rules and can fix defects. Day, driving for the Reading garage, struck and killed Walter Frazier, a marine at Wakefield Rifle Range, after claiming he did not see Frazier. The car lacked proper headlights, per Motor Registrar Goodwin. The Reading firm reports five taxicab operations paused under a revocation order. The registrar issued a new bulletin detailing lighting requirements and bulb specs for Ford cars and other lighting adjustments.
