Close Watch on the

The members of the Automobile club
who have been appointed special police
are already making themselves felt, and
with the assistance of the club members
hope to reduce complaints for fast driv-
Ing to the minimum this season. The
special officers have made known their
intentions and the manner IN which they
propose to perform their duties, and the
club members have assured them OF their
hearty cooperation. One of the special
policemen said last week:
We are all autoists and have COM
mon bond, but my best friend must obey
the law. We haven't any intention to
find driver breaking the speed limit or
any other rule, he will be warned and

omission. and the number was forthcom-
ing instantly. We are going to be strict.
and at the same time use common sense.
We want to put automobiling where the
police will not be necessary, and we
think we can do It,"
In this connection the Automobile club
has warned all members concerning the
Sixth street hill. The hill Is steep one
and there are few cars in the city that
can take 1t at high speed without get
