controlling the speed at which these
vehicles shall run on our highways, in
order to protect the lives of the public,
therefore be it
Resolved, that the Solicitor of this
Board be instructed to prepare an pre-

which shall, in harmony with the
State laws, prohibit the running of
automobiles and other horseless We
