Order to Police Captains.

The order issued to the police captains
this morning reads:
There are certain new regulations,
which should be given careful attention
by you and those under your command.
and YOU will observe that they are made.
effective from an educational standpoint,
ana by that l mean that details should
be made at the circles in your precinct
to see that vehicles proceed along the
right hand curb, as directed Those en-
forcing this regulation should be care
full to exercise clear Judgment and avoid
nasty action against those who may not
have had the opportunity of having these
regulations I'm hand in order To acquaint
themselves with the same. and who must
be subject to the dictates of the police
in this regard.
AS soon as the regulations are for
warded to this department by the Com
n1isSioners and issued to the citizens "a
more eXacting course will be pursued,
but for the present have directions
given how to proceed, in order to con-
form with the circle regulation.
"A vigorous enforcement of section %
notifying drivers that they must be
bile to observe from the rear, front
and sides of their vehicles.
Section 46 relative to lettering on
the streets is one that should be en-
forced vigorously.
Attention Called to 15-Foot Limit.
Attention should be given to sec
tions 20 and 80. with a view to en-
forcing the fifteen-foot limit prescribed
against the intrusion of vehicles upon
persons alighting from street cars
Officers stationed at the intersecting
streets to care for traffic should study
the provision regard ng the manner of
signaling with both hands. which is en-
braced in section ;, and see to il that all
vehicles come TO a halt north and south

Drivers Must See Clearly.

Special instructions were given to en-
force the regulation that drivers must be
able TO see clearly from the front sides
and rear of their vehicles. although the
enforcement of il for few days will
really be only in an instructive way. Maj.
Sylvester's order directs that drivers be
advised Of the legal requirements.
1t is the intention of the police to make
arrests for violations of the fifteen-foot
limit prescribed against intrusion of We
hicles upon persons boarding and alight-
ing from street cars. Maj. Sylvester
thinks automobilists have had ample no.
tice of the regulation. and that they
should obey it. The automobiles, as a
rule, today expressed the hope that the
regulations would be as strictly enforced
against horse-drawn vehicles as against
motor cars.
1t is probable printed copies of the
regulations will not be ready for distri-
button before the middle of the coming
week. Niolators of any of the provisions
of the iold regulations, however. will be
arrested as heretofore. leniency being en-
tended only in instances in which some of
the new features are involved
