Celebrating this idea still further,
Mr. Rubin said he thought that motor

would facilitate their work materially.
Commissioners Rubin has developed
his idea still further. II has been
found to be perfectly practical ono,
and MIR. Rubin will talk it over with
Commissioner Woods. The idea is a
simple and an inexpensive one, but
one which has never occurred TO any
person in authority before.
In the near future il seems certain
that the park policemen doing night
duty will each carry an automobile
hand searchlight along with his re

one best bet that when this new order
becomes effective there will be lot
less speeding. or there will he lot
