RED REFLECTORS ON CARS
DECISION EARLY IN NEW YEAR From Our Resident Reporter WELLINGTON, Today. The vexed question of compulsory red reflectors for motor-vehicles is to be decided finally early in the New Year. Following circularisation of the various motor unions, local bodies, master carriers’ associations and others interested in the transport question, a conference will be held in Wellington before 1930 is very far gone. At present suggestions for overhaul and amendment of the transport regulations are arriving in bulk at the office of the Commissioner of Transport. These were invited by the Minister of Transport, the Hon. W. A. Veitch, and will go before the conference, the personnel of which is still to be determined, but will be drawn from representative bodies. Inquiry shows that the department is not extremely enamoured of the red reflector which was included by the Public Works Department largely because the original regulations were partly based on English regulations, and no objection was made to the clause proposing the red reflector. It appears that sympathetic consideration will be extended to objections which may he made to any aspect of the regulations as they stand.
