ing that in their negotiations with
the legislative commission in regard
to freight rates to North Carolina
points they have acted in the best
of faith, the presidents of the rail.
roads operating in North Carolina
have addressed a letter to Mr.. w.
e. Dowd, editor of the Charlotte
News, giving a full history of the
negotiations.
The railroad presidents quote the
full text of the agreement made
with the legislative commission on
February 18th and state that under
it they made proposition embrac-
ing substantial rate reductions but
which was not satisfactory to the
commission. The commission then
made proposition which the rail-
roads after careful study concluded
they could not possibly accept and
they gave their reasons in full to
the commission in writing.
AS the commission was not will
ing to accept what the railroads Of
fered and the railroads felt that they
could not accept the proposition of
the commission, both Sides believing
their position correct, there was then
an issue as to what was just AS
the interstate Commerce Commits
sion is the only tribunal with author
ity TO decide such questions, ought
not this issue, the railroad presidents
ask, be submitted to it. In their
letter to Mr. Dowd the railroad presi-
dents promise if this question is
submitted to the Interstate Com
merce Commission to cooperate in
every possible manner to expedite
its hearing and to accept the Com
missions decision, whatever it may
be, without appeal.

RIGID ENFORCEMENT OF AUTO
MOBILE LAW IN HIGH POINT.
Notice to all Automobile Owners or
Drivers.

am being continually beseieed
by citizens in person and by tele.
phone, about the reckIessness and
lack of courtesy and consideration
shown by some of our automobile
and motorcycle owners and drivers
in High Point, and on account OF
! the ever increasing traffic on all of
our principle streets, due largely to
the daily arrival of new automobiles
and motorcycles, am issuing this
note of warning to our people, call
ing attention again to the state law
and city ordinance covering this
subject, with the determination to
see to it that this law is rigidly en-
| forced as far as may be possible,
and if necessary, employ plain
clothes special officers to assist our
regular police force in apprehendine
violaters and making cases, until
this reckles5ness and disregard for
the law is brought TO an end
I would advise every automobile
or motorcycle owner or driver in
! High Point to read the state law
and our city ordinance on the sub
ject, for their ignorance of same will
not excuse them from the penalty
imposed when convicted in the
Municipal Court
High Point has been fortunate in
not having experienced distressing
accidents and fatalities up to this
time, and in an endeavor to prevent
occurrences of this sort / am de-
termi.4ed to place the responsibility
where it belongs.
If in doubt, better secure a copy
of this law and then remember the
Speed Limit Requirements, the
Turning Corner Requirements, the
Right hand Side of Street Require
ments, the Turning Corner Require
| ments. passing. street car require.
ments. the Lighting Requirements
and also remember that an auto
mobile or motorcycle is granted no
special privileges under the law
| hope the public will give this
law the proper support and aid the
city every way possible in enforcing
same in all of its requirements and
/ without exception.
Respectfully,
FRED N. TATE, Mayor.
