THOUGH the number of motor vehicles in the Colony is comparatively small they have attracted considerable attention and have been responsible for the formation of certain views which have been widely and forcibly expressed. An opinion was formed that those vehicles should come under more stringoat regulations than were in force, and the indiscretions of certain drivera and misfortunes of others have clearly pointed to the necessity for special regulations for the control of this new feature of local traffic. The several accidents which have
cacurred of late could not but direct the attention of the authorities to the subject,
