THE BLACKOUT
As I go about town I find many people complaining about the inconsistency of the blackout; the telephone cabinets on the streets are in total darkness, causing great inconvenience when one requires a doctor urgently; even the public conveniences underground have had very weak lamps put in so one can hardly see down the steps. One wonders what it is all for when he sees all sorts of motor vehicles racing about with strong lights, which illuminate the streets for yards ahead, and at speeds positively dangerous. Pedestrian crossings are in darkness, too. Let those in authority do the right thing and mend matters forthwith. TRAVELLER.
