 one of the best things the Si,y Council has done in the way. of pet tering conditions" said a we'll known MontRomerian last evening, was s, sns pessage Of the ordinance on M9haay 1 a,,y tomcbiles within the city. limits. For. tunateiy, until recently. there mas not been much need of legislation Tor tne months the number of machines In towp has made some sort of regulatlon imperative. if the safety of pedestrians Is to be considered at all, y
 The features of the ordinance which requires the purchase of license, visible numbers. and low Ia.e oi speed are especially to oe cornrfended. These are common in all up-to-date auto. and she increasing recklessness and apparent indifference Of the cnaui- teurs to the safety of others. naVins made such a law necessity,
 have no concern whatever. for the rights of others, their own pleasure being of greater concern to them than the lives Of the people they pass on
 sThere Is one thing iacking in the ordinance governing the auto. however, which I think should be added as an amendment More than half the sss as cidenfs which we hear of are more the result Of iriexperience on the part oI the chaffeur than of carelessness or the desire for a high rate or speed. Frequently we hear of people pe,hs run down, or run over, because tne person at the lever lost his or her head and was not sufficiently expe- rienced to know what to do In time If, i.fa, S many of the northern cities, in addition to laws governing the speed and licensing of machines, there is law requiring any one running ma st chine to have chauneufs certhicattts. tt. t. .nt increase In0 city's revenue, but measure to pre- vent the inexperienced person From driving recklessly through the streeiS; ,S; trusting to good ieqs sns esoapins ssa5 ns wl co iision only through his own go9d luck. To secure certificate It is necessary to prove that one knows how to run an suto asae. ae mgs ths msehans ns a of the machine at least enough to prove that lie Is able to handle one on the streets. He must pass an exatn ex nation in running i one e.o ot tbat snf fI be is fhoroughiv capable to manage his ma cihne under any and all circHmstances. If such an ordinance as tnisEweTe cd at the last meeting the lives ana limbs of pedestrians would be much more securely safeguarded than they are at present! More peopis are hurs IF arivers of autos than through rapid driving"
