Must Obey The City Law.

Editor Sentinel: l wish again to call
attention to automobilists, through
your paper, to the ordinance against
fast driving in Grenada, and to notify
them that we have made arrangements
whereby we shall be able to determine,
without question, when an automobile
is travelling faster than the rate of
speed allowed'by law. had hoped that
it would not be necessary for me to say
anything further on this subject, but
recently there has been some disregard
for the speed limit in the city. This
fast driving must be discontinued. 1t
is in violation of the law and danger
Gus. l shall ask, therefore. that all
drivers bring and keep themselves
within the law at all times; otherwise,
it will be the duty of the officers to ar
rest the offenders for an ~infraction of
the ordinance.
Very truly yours,
B. F. Thomas,
Mayor.
