COLORED LIGHTS BARRED
Auto Commissioner Claims New
Equipment Is Confusing
To Motorists.
Green and red lights on the front fenders of automobiles must be removed from cars traveling in Maryland, according to announcement by the State motor vehicle commissioner, or the owners of the cars will be fined.

The law requires that only white lights be visible from the front of an automobile and that a fine of $5 to $50 is provided for the owners of a car having colored lights there.
