laws outside of this state. In 
taking an interstate run in one’s 
car, for instance,—from Atlantic 
City, New Jersey, to the coast of 
Maine, there are many things 
about the statutes regarding 
automobile traffic in the various

general interest. A resumé of the 
auto laws of New England will 
be found below which will serve 
as a general fund of information 
concerning the traffic regulations 
in this section of the country. 
The Massachusetts Legislature 
has passed two acts that are of 
special interest to all who drive 
automobiles. The law relative to 
having lights displayed on vehi-

has been amended so that all ve- 
hicles with the exception of hand 
carts and those transporting hay 
or straw, must have a light of 
some kind displayed in all locali- 
ties. The law formerly com- 
pelled vehicles to have lights dis-

that fact. Under the new law 
the police can enforce the law 
without much trouble. The new 
law relative to automobiles states 
that the drivers must not allow 
them to ‘‘smoke’’ unnecessarily 
and the mufflers must not be cut 
out in thickly settled sections.
