During the past week Judge
Smith had the pleasure Of fining
a couple of parties for reckless
driving upon the crowded main
streets and with it gave some
good advice to the reckless
teamsters. In one instance a
man was struck by the team and
thrown into the gutter, in the
second case the teamster con
tinred his fierce pace despite the
fact that number of little chill
dren we're directly in his path
and had to hustle to reach safe
place. The action of the court
is to be commended and it is te
ba hoped that the lesson will
have its effect on all drivers.
The habit Of rapid driving
around corners and over cross
ings is getting too common and
should be treated as any other
offense against public salty.
