Street Lighting .
There will be " interesting and. important " recom- mendations on the question of street-lighting in the interim report of a committee set up by the Minister of Transport last year. So much was vouchsafed by Lord Elmley, Parliamentary Private Secretary to the Minister, in a speech which be made to the Association of Public Lighting Engineers last Tuesday. A great deal remains to be done, as was pointed out by several speakers, not only in more lighting of arterial roads and streets in towns, but in respect of more unifcrin illumination, Sir Francis Goodenough, commenting on the fact that the expenditure on public lamps only amounted to 2s. per .amount miheaubliitt uanegtphet ort.anhiems7ehtth. thought that at least twice it is not only the public provision of lamps that is needed ; there should also be regulation of private lighting. Green and red advertisement signs now conspicuous in many towns are a constant source of confusion to motorists looking out for green and red traffic signals. Local authorities ought to secure, and to exercise, power to deal drastically with this real source of danger.
