AFTER AUTOMOBILES
Numerals to be Six Inches High
Instead of Three and Placed
on Front Of Machines
WILL LIMIT THE SPEED

John O. Thomas, assemb1yman from
the Second district, Racine county, is
after the automobile scorchers and
has presented bill to the legislature
which may become law.
The bill introduced by Mr.. Thomas
requires automobiles to carry identi
fication numerals six inches high in
stead of three inches, and these to be
placed on the front part of the ma
chimes with one of the two forward
lamps directed on them. The bill re-
duces the speed limit from twelve to
eight rni1es in cities and villages and
from twenty-five to fifteen miles in
rural districts. Should the bill be-
come law it provides penalty of
Imprisonment instead of fine for vio-
1ation of the act.
Automobile owners have in the past
driven recklessly along city streets
and country roads and many times
have endangered life and limb because
of speeding. The farmers are espec-
tally bitter toward automobile owners
because some of them refuse to give a
part of the road when approaching a
team and there are many who have re-
fused to slow down their machines or
assist farmers in case of accident
caused by horses becoming frightened
at automobiles.
