Notwithstanding. two autoists OF Du-
rant turn 'em loose" faster than ever
when driving on North Third and Sec
ond avenues. Now this paper has no
desire to butt In" as It we're. but it
would merely pass out the gentle tip
that these speeders will be summarily
summoned before the police court and
fined. without any advance notice, un-
less they cut out this fast driving at
once. The entire police force is dead
onto these speeders. and are only
waiting to catch them with the goods
Such action as this. which is danger
Gus to pedestrians and civilized auto
drivers as well. merits a little more
than a mere fine.
