FOR BREAKING LAW
sPEEpERs ARRAIeNED BEFORE
POLICE JUSTICE
Vice President of Local Construction
Company Escapes Jail Sentence
on Account of Recent
illness

Robert G. Neustadt, vice president of
the Richard Neustadt Construction
company, was yesterday arrested for
the fifth time for exceeding the speed
limit.
Neustadt owns a 100 horsepower OAR
racq machine that is capable of making
a high rate of speed. When arrested on
North Main street 1t is alleged he was
running his car at rate of twenty
miles an hour.
Neustadt's first offense was Decem-
Der 8, 1905. He was fined SIS. On jan
uary %, 1906, he was arrested for over
speeding and fined $15. The third time
was April 8, 1906, when he was sem
fenced to pay $50. The fourth time,
June 81, 1907, he was assessed $25.
When arraigned in Police Justice
Chambers court Neustadt, who was
represented by Attorney George Beebe,
pleaded guilty. He said he had been i'll
at his home in Pasadena and was ignor-
ant of the new traffic ordinance which
changed the speed limit from twenty to
twelve miles an hour.
Chronic speeders, according to the
prosecuting attorneys office, will be
dealt with summarily, a Jail sentence
having been decided upon as being the
best method of curing speed maniacs

speed limit, a Jail sentence was not
insisted upon by the representatives OF
the prosecutor. In view Of the circum-
stances Neustadt was fined $40.
