LIMIT SPEED OF "AUTOS."
One Way to Insure Safety on the
Public Higbocays.
TO the Editor Of The Tribune.

10 the EdltOT or The Tribune.
Sir: The great invention Of to-day IS the auto
mobile 1t is not only swifter but safer than
the horse vehcle-very much safer. It has
only one drawback-its speed capacity If fully
used is much too high for the safety, not only Of
occupants, but also of others. The recent acci-
dents here have only added unneeded proof
that high speed is the source of all the trouble,
and should not be possible. We may pass speed
laws and fine owners for reckless driving to
the end of the chapter without insuring safety.
Even Imprisonment of owners will not fully meet
the case, although it would improve matters.
There is only one effective mode Of securing all
the advantages of the motor car without danger.
Autos that can exceed in speed twenty-five
miles an hour should not be permitted at present
on the highways They can easily be SO geared-
Racing machines. usable only upon racing
courses, need no restriction.
At some future day when special highways
one or both sides of present widened highways
are given up exclusively to autos seems
possible. and these are maintained in perfect
order, higher speeds may be permitted. At
present it seems to the writer that the twenty
five miles an hour limit should be secured es-
peciaIly around large cities. by making the
vehicles incapable Of doing more The writer
speaks from experience as the owner Of half
dozen autos" and as one exceedingly fond Of
skimming along at not exceeding twenty miles
hour.
This has been and is the strict rule I enforce.
never to be exceeded. but twenty-five miles
maximum may now be conceded believe. with
out increasing the danger unduly. The last
auto ordered by me is to be incapable of doing
more. AUIOlo1'
