MacMahon resigned, when wounded,

that Napoleon III. had committed the

which was thcreupon taken over BY

WHY DON'T THEY ENFORCE THE
V1NNXS ir4-flal3

WHY DON'T THEY ENFORCE THE
LAW:
1t appears that there is City Ordi-
nance ito prohibit the driving of four
wheeled wagons or vehicles designed
to carry commodities OF greater weight
than 1000 pounds along or over the
streets of the City or Richmond, unless
such wagon or other vehicle is pro-
vided with suitable and adequate
brakes" That is the title of the
Ordinance, the text of which reads as
follows
1. That it shall be unlawful for any
person to drive or permit to be driven,
by his agent or employee, any four
wheeled wagon or other four-wheeled
Veh1cIe carrying or designed to carry
commodities of greater weight than
20 thousand (2,o00) pounds along or
fover any of the streets OF the City
Of Richmond unless such wagon or
other vehicle shall be provided with
suitable and adequate brake. by
means of which the driver of such
wagon or vehicle can check its head
way while descending heavy grades in
the streets. Any person violating the
provisions Of this ordinance shall be
liable to fine of not less than two
nor more than ten dollars for each Of
sfensa recoverable before the Police
Justice of the City of Richmond.
2 This ordinance shall be in force
from its passage.
The Ordinance was approved Feb
.ruary is, 1910. 1t is an excellent law;
why sit not enforced? Whose bust
ness is it to enforce It? That it is
not enforced hundreds Of loaded
wagons in the city testify every
day and day after day. What
is the Mayor doing about it? What
are the police commissioners and po-
lice officers and patrolmen doing to
carry out It's perfectly clear pro-
visions? Isn't 1t somebody's business
to see that 1t is enforced? Section 2
declares "this Ordinance shall be in
force from It's passage" 1t was passed
more than six months ago, and, so
far as we know, in all this long period
not one effort has been made by any
body in authority to carry out It's pro-
visions In fact, we did not know that
there was such an ordinance. and ap-
5parently the city authorities have been
equally ignorant of It's existence
Either they have forgotten 1t or they
have been grossly neglectful of their
duty in falling to enforce 1t.
We would suggest that the Mayor
instruct his secretary to send copy
OF the ordinance to the owner of
every wagon and cart in town--wc
presume that their names can be OBJ
stained from the office where they pay
their licenses--and require them to
comply with the law within the next
twenty Or thirty days. IT is a good
law and it should be enforced to the
letter in the name OF humanity.
