WORD OF WARNING
FROM A CITIZEN

AS Il preface to my article | desire
to state that l am not attempting to
start a crusade against autos Or auto
lists but ask the protection of sane au-
tomobilists as we'll as the public.
I would call the attention Of the au
thOrities to the running of autOmO-
bles in our city by few parties who
seem to disregard the rights of 9TH
ers by running at an unusual rate of
speed and in reckless manner. The
City Council should see that the speed
limit is rigidly adhered to-.
This article was occasioned by see
ing young boy, who was driving a
horse, escape an accident by a very
narrow margin. The automobile in
this instance came into Main street
from a side street and was driven at
a high rate Of speed.
1t is, in my Judgment, better to pre-
vent accidents and not wait until one
occurs to raise cry.
AS another safeguard the police de-
partment should enforce the driving
law which compels the observance Of
the rules in driving to keep to the
night
! This rule is not generally obeyed
and would prevent numerous acct
dents if rigidly enforced
In conclusion l desire to state that
the majority of our autoists are very
careful in running their machines.
! might add that the instances OF a
disregard of the speed limit arerar
The prevention of those rare infringe
my article.

If any change is necessary.
