TO ENFORCE SPEED LAW.
Police Commissioners Take up CUES
ton of Violations by Automobiles.
Rowland Elected.

The question OF the violation Of the
speed laws OF the city and state took up
only small part Of the time of the
meeting OF the Board OF Police Com
missioners at their regular monthly
meeting last night but it resulted in a
spirited discussion between the COM
missioners as to the best methods to be
used to have the violators OF the laws
punished. Commissioner Barrett, who
brought the matter to the attention OF
the board, stated that the city officials
we're being severely criticized Tor their
failure to have the laws enforced. He
said that it was matter of common
knowledge that automobiles were run on
King street at speed that was most
dangerous and that nothing was being
done to stop the practice. Referring
to the action OF the grand jury who in
vestigated the matter, Mr.. Barrett said
that no action had been taken upon
their recommendations and that Judge
L. C. Barley OF the Corporation Court,
in personal conversation, had stated
that unless something was done he
would have policemen brought before
him for malfeasanace in Office.
Mayor Paff agreed that the law was
being violated but spoke OF the diff
Guilty in securing evidence upon which
the courts would convict, whereupon
the suggestion was made that the
mayor request the city engineer to lay
off distances of one.sixth OF a mile on
King and Washington streets and de-
tail certain policemen to time the speed
OF automobiles over these measured
courses and bring the Yiolators of the
law into court. The mayor agreed to
take up tho question with the city en-
gineer and give the suggestion trial.
The mayor then pointed out the fact
that there was no city law regulating
the speed of automobiles and said that
he would call the matter to the atten-
ton Of council at its next regular meet
ing and ask that an ordinance be
passed which would cover this point
Commissioner Bryan pointed out that
there vas state Law on the subject I'M
der which the city authorities could act.
There were two vacancies on the
force to be filled but after an exhaustive
examination of the candidates the
board elected Charles w. holland to
fill one of the vacancies and agreed to
hold the election OF another patrolman
at some future date. There we're more
than dozen applicants and they we're
given a rigorous examination by the
board.
