The question of the dipping or dimming of headlights of vehicles at night was raised by Mr E. W. Forrest at a meeting of the Gisborne advisory committee of the Auckland Automobile Association. He said he did not know if the borough buses ran with their lights dipped or nof, but their headlights were strong and glaring and the drivers did not answer any signal to dim their lights. The chairman, Mr F. Tolerton. explained chat the new buses had an inferior type of headlamp, one of which blacked out when the rays were dipped. The resident patrol was instructed to take up the matter with the bus department.
