TIIE LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD IN IRELAND.
TniI: Local G-overnment Board (Ireland) wrote recently
to the Swinforcl Board of Guardians acknowledging
replies to queries respecting Dr. Martin Sweeney, recently
elected by the board of guardians to the medical officer-
silip of tlle Lowpark Dispensary District, and drawing
attention to its circular letter of December 26th, 1915, and
to suggest, in view of tile fact that Dr. Sweeney is 27 years
of age, andl quialified in that respect for employment with-
tlhe forces of the Crown, thiat the guardians miglit endeavour
to make some temnporary arrangement wlereby Dr. Sweeney
woukld be enabled to volunteer for active service until the
termination of tle war. The guardians could keep the
post open until Dr. Sweeney's return, and the Board woutld
tilen .accord their sanction to his perimanent appointment.
The guiardians made an order informing the Locatl rovern.

mont Board that the appointmuent of Dr. Sweeney was
made before tile issue of the circular referred to, and re-
quiriug tlhem to sanction his appointment at once, as the
Low-park D)ispensary District was one of the largest in the
union and hlad a population of over 9,000, and a temporary
arrangement for the dischlarge of the duties was therefore
not desirable. Owing to the number of Irish doctors who
have, since tile war broke ouit, joined the R.A.M.C., several
large dispensary districts lIave been left without medical
officers.
PRACTICES OF M1EN ACCEPTING COMMISSIONS.
TNDDER the auspices of the City Division of the British
Medical -Association a meeting of medical practitioners
resident in the borouglis of Stoke Newington, Hackney,
Bethnal Green, Sh-oreditcll, Finsbury, and City was held
at the Hackney Town Hall on January 7th. Dr. Durino,
chairmani of the Division, wlho presided, said that the
meceting was delayed so that every medical man might
have tilc opporttunity of attending. The following resolt.
tions were carried:
1. That in CasC of miien who joiti or rejoin the R.A.M.C. after
the date of this meetiiig the following fees should be paid
to men wlio do their work at home: (1) In panel cases 50
per cent. shouldl go to thle man who does the work. (2) In
pIrivate practice, if the dispensing is done by the repre-
sentative, lie should receive three-fiftis of the fees. (3)
All midwifery fees slhouilld be paid in full to the repre-
sentative. All the above to be stubject to private arrange-
mnents madle by individuals. Territorials to be treated as
other volunteers.
2. That tlhe War Emergency Commiiiiittee should coniduct any
business oil the lines of this meeting.
THE NEW LIGHTING RESTRICTIONS.
THE newv order as to lighlts on velhicles, made by the Home
Secretary uinder tihe Defence of tlxe Realm Regulations,
came inito force on January 10th.
It extelids to the whole country outside the metropolitan area
provisionls wliich already applied in many areas, fixing the
lightingup tine for all vehicles'as half an hotr after'sunset,
and reqtuiring all veehicles to carryr a red lamp in the rear. A
separate lamp at tile rear is required for all except hand vehicles.
The last requirement does not cotne into force until February
10th. These regulations are conisidered necessary for the public
safety, because of the red(uction of street lighiting and the
general in-rease of navial and mtilitary motor traffic on the roads
at night. The remnaiiuder of the order deals with the reduction
of lights in those areas whlere bright lights might serve to guide
hostile aircraft (Part II). Lists of these areas are given in a
schedule. The order dlefinies tlle restrictions, and makes them
uniform ill all the areas affected. In them the use of head-
lights is prohibited, buit sidelights are allowed of sufficienb
brightness to afford a reasoniable driving light for ordinary
speeds. It is found that sideliglts which can be allowed on
countrv roads are a source of danger in towns where the large
niumber of lighted vehicles maikes the liglhts of the main streets
visible to aircraft-, and(l it has therefore been necessary (Part Ill)
to requiire sidlelights to be fulrther reduced in large towns in the
eastern coulnties set out in a seconid schedule. The order pre-
scribes the standards of inaxinmnn size and power, and method
of obscuring differenit types of lamps.
A number of letters lhave been received at the offices of
tIle British Medical Association pointing out' the incon-
veniences and dangers whiclh may arise owing to the fact
that it is necessary for medical practitioners to go about
tlhc cotIntry at night, andI the follo'wing correspondence
