WONT SPEED UP
MOTORS PROHIBITED Not all Americans take kindly to the motor, some small towns have even gone to the extreme of banning it altogether. The ban is a relic of the days when a car was known as a “gas buggy” and many hidebound municipalities prohibited the: use on their streets. One by one these laws have been repealed until today there is only one town where motors are kept out This is Isleboro (Maine), the holiday resort of wealthy families. It has had a ban on motors ever since their general use and tradesmen and the younger generation have attempted to have i-t repealed on numerous occasions. But Isleboro has never felt the need for speeding up, and their appeals have always failed. LAMP CIRCUITS In some vehicles the headlamps are wired in series; if one lamp filament goes, the circuit is broken and the other light goes also. In such cases two spare bulbs should be carried. A good emergency is an old bulb (where the filament is broken) with a piece of wire soldered from the contact.
