"1999.** seolica provalen for the ordinary rate of the road for passing vehicle; and section 5 deals with the carrying of lights. It may be noted with regard to soution 5 that this legislation spphon to privato vehicles as well as to public voltiols, and I think that hoaourable inembers of the Connoil will agree with me when I say it is equally necessary that private vehicle should carry lights well as public vehicles. With regard toclause 6 of the Bill, I propose to move in committee nu amend mest in line one, inserting the Food "pusher" between the words chawer" and "ridor." That will make claro 6 in conformity-with- relanse 5, which speaks of a person driving. drawing, pnshing, riding," eto, Housurable members will see that clares 6 provides that no. person sla by negligence or wilful miehe haviour cause any best or damage to sby perans, horus, cattle, or goods, conveyed in any calicles passing or being pen any street or road," and it also provides "or if the vehicle bo drawn by a lerva or other animal shell ne- gligently or wilfully be a much distance from such vehielo or in such a situation What it abal be pussing upon suola atreef or road that he cannot have the direction and vormuent of the orig or animal drawing the enau or shall boave any vehicle din by n horse or other saimal unattended in any street or road or ist any place of publio resort or eu. tor: aiament, whether such vehicly shall be hired

Claes 7 gives power to the Governor in Council to

to make bye Ers. In aluse 8 I propose to

make su amelot in line 4 by stibulitating

for the word "person" the words "any momher of the police force." I think honourable mem- bars will probably agree that it would be unde Arabis to give to any persen, whosror Le night be, the power of arrasting any other person with or without warmut. With regard to the latter part of clause 8, that is taken from the High ways Act at home, which enabled: the Potion Magistrate a person refuses to disclose bie TANG" to prooved against him by a description of his person and the fees only without adding auy in or dosigcution."
