ABOUT SPEEDING

responding to recent alarm. the
automobile hre apparatus ran at a
dangerous rate of speed through the
congested portion OF Main Street, was
sent TO the Board OF Fire Commits
sioners last night The board decided
that there was no cause for calling an
investigat ton and referred the matter
TO u subcommittee consisting OF Com
miss oners Tyler. Jenkins and KEEP

ing OF the board
Before this course was taken. sew.
eral members of the board made sus-
sestions for the regulation OF the
speed OF motor vehicles in the de-
partment Chief Joyncs and his as
sistants objected TO having the iire
apparatus placed under the traffic
regulations at all. saying that when
they responded TO an alarm. they
went with all speed possible without
endangering life. Several who saw
the Third street automobile as It re-
sponded TO the alarm in question. said
that it could not have been going
more than twenty miles an hour, and
that II was completely under tho con-
troll of the chauffeur at all times.
chief Joyncs called attention to the
fact that the motor vehicles OF the
Police Department and the C!ty Home
were exempt from the traffic reEula-
tons. ana said he believed such a
course in his department would great
l. reduce its efficiency.
y letter has already been written 10

instructing them TO be careful The
subcommittee probably WILL after
hearing from Chief Joyncs. recon-
mend that no speed limit be hxed. but
that strict department laws be laid

they are disobeyed.
