LORRY DANGERS
Apart altogether from any question of negligence, recent motor fatalitics have thrown Into emphasis the distinct dan- ger caused to road-users by the carrying of protruding leads by lorries.

News that the traffic authorities are giving this matter serious attention, by strengthening the regulations relating thereto, will therefore be generally welcomed. The re-
