Victorian road boards and a national roads office were discussed, alongside advocating bicycles to ease transit costs and improve road sense among motorists.

Big angle single cylinder car eyed by editor
The editor of Motor News London argues for a large single-cylinder car with ample power and simple, low vibration. He cites De Dion Lizaire-Naudin and Rover as past examples and notes potential for broad usefulness in midweight cars pending lighter, balanced reciprocating parts. He also mentions a US census showing horses declining in cities and discusses lignite fuel and future oil yields. The piece touches on revived International Tourist Trophy motorcycle races on the Isle of Man.
