MORE v|OLATORs
OF SPEED LIMIT
Officer Bendall of Henrico County
Bring Another Bunch to
Court.
GOOD SYSTEM
Observed Speed of Two Hundred
and Two Automobiles on
Sunday

Automobiles, presumably. took 1t
for granted that Officer Bendali, Of
Henrico county, was satisfied with
having captured thirty-one out of
lightweight that sped by him last
week, and that he would rest on his
iaurels for time. They reckoned
not that the officer would be out on
the thoroughfares Of the county sun
day taking the numbers of all Of those
who dased along. And without their
host did they reckon.
For the officer says that two hun
dred and two cars passed a given
point between 10 in the morning and
6 in the afternoon, ana from this
number, when his calculations are
done, he states that he will have n
greater proportion than ne had when
he came to court with them last week.
He has given out no names of alleged
violators as yet. 1t may De that no
warrant, or summons, VIII be servec
for several days as yet
The officers way OF catching the
speeders is this: lie stations HIM
self, say one mile from another per-
son wfIo is IN hts -crnpfoy.--W ffen- an
auto passes he puts down the num-
Der and the time. The other man
does the same thing. For instance.
car No. 4l144 passes Mr.. Bendall at
1926. The man one mile above gees
this number as passing him at 1929.
Simple? The car travelled the dis
lance In three minutes, Ell?
And when Officer Bendall has finish
ed making his calculations, there arc
going to be lot of people who will
tell justice of the peace In the
| county why they became 10y riders
| last Sunday.
| The thirty-one who were tried last
week were let off with the payment
of costs.
