Atlanta is having a great time enforcing
the speed ordinance and heavy fines are being i'm
posed on automobiles for speeding. We do not
know what the limit is in that city, but the matter
of speed is not the element of danger with automo-
biles any more than with the horse and buggy. IL
Ia the recklessness OF the driver that constitutes
danger. In Detroit, the automobile city, the law
does not limit the speed. Where an automoolllse
has a clear field, where there is no danger from
cross streets pedestrians and vehicles the automo-
bile may run at almost any speed, but the law is
against reckless driving. A man may drive reck-
lessly at four or FIVE miles per hour, aud on tue
other hand be perfectly safe at 80 miles per hour
