plying to Automobiles.

nues of the town by speeding automo-
biles and heavy motor trucks was
council Of Takoma Park, Md, last night.

ordinance committee was directed to
prepare an ordinance which will agree
with the state automobile law. In ad-
dition, signs will be posted on the out
skirts of the town stating the speed
limit.
The request from Thomas r. Davis for
cement sidewalk from the entrance of
the Washington Sanitarium to Flower
and Davis avenues was denied by the
council owing to the lateness of the sea-
son for doing this character of work and
also on the ground that a petition should
contain the signatures of a majority OF
the property owners to be benefited by
the improvement. 1t was stated that
those who signed the petition represented
owners of 23S feet of frontage out of a
total Of 73S feet.
The report of Town Treasurer Ben G.
Davis for October was approved. 1t
showed receipts amounting to $74S %,
which. with the ba.ance on hand of
$3, 75O.51, made a total of $4,49S.73. The
disbursements amounted to So, 2,3S5.O7, leav-
ing a net working balance of $2.113.66.

nue. below New York avenue were nearly

avenue was approved.
1t was announced that J. w. Shade
