BLACK-OUT OFFENCE
Police Complaint Of Car-Drivers
CHARGED with a breach of the Emergency Regulations imposed during the black-out on September 22, through fail- ing to have the side-lights of his car obscured in such a way as to be invisible from the air, Shau Wai-chau was fined $25 by Mr. Forrest at the Central Magistracy this morning.
Sub-Inspector Clarke said that many people disobeyed the black-out instructions, and some car drivers took no trouble to obscure their lights, but simply switched them off when in the city limita, where many policemen were on duty, and switched them on again when in the suburbs.
