measure in The matter Of limiting the
speed Of such vehicles on the public

the skeleton OF the original bill, but

in comparison with the old law, under

to use an automobile.
TEN-MILE AMENDMENT.
Senator Farris, Of Stoddard, called
the bill up. Senator McAilister offer
ed an amendment limiting the speed
Of automobiles on the public highways
to ten miles an hour. He argued that
a greater speed was unsafe Senator
Wornall agreed with him, and said
some unpleasant things about reckless
automobile drivers.
Senator Peck, Major, Farris, Hay
man and Hudson all opposed the
amendment on the ground that If
teen miles aud hour is not a danger
gerous rate Of speed.
Senator Gardner said he hoped the
McAllister amendment would not be
adopted for the season that automo-
biles are frequently used in attending
funerals in st Louis County, and If
they were limited In speed to ten
miles an hour, they would have TO
drop far behind the procession.
The amendment was finally reject
ed and the bill passed by a vote Of 2s
