AUTO LAW VlOLATORS
Scored by William S. Brown in Open Forum Much Complaint About Speeding.

William S Brown objects to any more people being killed with auto mobiles. in Danielson, and so publicly proclaimed himself at the noon hour Thursday while standing at a busy point on Main street MT. Brown slammed the newspapers that print local matter for not making 1t their business to give greater publicity to violations of the automobile laws, and delivered something of an oration, much of which was undoubtedly for the benefit of Prosecuting Attorney Arthur G. Bill, who happened to be standing in the group that heard his remarks on the terrors of the times brought about by swift moving cars.
 Asked for specific instances (bv a newspaperman) of automobile law violations. with a promise that such cases would be given due publicity and offered an opportunity to have printed over his signature any charge that he might wish to make against any au- tOmobfe owner or driver. Mir. Brown did not accept. confining himself tc generalities and continuing to ask the newspapers to do something that ht was apparently unwilling to do him self.
 There has been much complaint h Danielson during the past season about reckless automobile driving, ant much has been said about 1t in the i Danielson news, even a plea made fol l the state police 10 come here and se- cure such evidence as might come tC their attention. The present uproal ! over fast driving again brings th' | matter of autorn obile law violations tC i the forefront. For those who have 2 / erievance against any automobile
