Sidelights Not Enough Car Lights Court Hearing
Judge Frank A. Sears in the borough court fined BR. G. Birdseye of Shelton five dollars for operating a car with improper lights two sidelights instead of headlamps. Birdseye said a stolen lead light left him with only sidelights. The state law requires bright headlamps illuminating 200 feet ahead without blinding oncoming drivers. A forthcoming drive against headlight violations is expected as lights often cause accidents. A separate bond forfeiture of 15 dollars by Joseph Miskewies for intoxication was noted for his non appearance.
