 Thursday and Friday last were strenu oEls days for our local constab- ulary in their successful efforts to. regulate the heavy motor car tradlc, Constables C. B Johnson, Thomas Carlson c. F. Conger and Borough Bai1im F. N Ramon did their duty as tr.af1ace squad, haIting speedgrs and insisting on the observance of the light on cars passing through our streets Only one arrest was made, however, that Of Frederick PeIiter of Waterbury. who had neither head nor tall lights in operation fully as the law directs when called 10 q halt, he seemed to think the matter a Joke, but was soon dtsabused of that idea He then said his lighting system would not work. Friends who knew him vouched for his appearances for trial. and he was allowed to depart after securing lanters for use on his car He appeared before Justice F. H. Mo- Garthy Friday. pleaded guilty and was fined $5 and costs. amounting to $1 12, which he paid Tn Sandy Hook Con- stables F. J. Thrall, Fred Lockwood and Austin E. Hurd were on the job, and brought the hundreds of motor ists down to the eight mile limit while al is no doubt that these precautionary tactics saved accidents in the narrow streets and dangerous curves of this Village. Constable Hnrd is new man on the force, but he distfn gnished himself on this occasion in way tha. taught one bull headed automobilist a lesson that it Is hoped, did him good. This important fellow paid no attention to the red flag waved to halt him, but come on as though to run the officer down. Hurd swung himself lightly on to the running board and brought the car to a stop. He then ordered him to turn the car around and return to the signal sta ton. which he did. The officer then told him what was required of him as to speed Tn the limits of the will Iage, and his duty to respect the dan ger sfgnaf where he saw one in the road. The car owner sneeringly said l he Knew the law and started to turn his car towards his objective point. ssI propose to put you to the test,'' said Hurd; You go back to that sta- tionary signal and try 1t over again Chagrfn spread over his face, but the constable was insistent The speed CT did as directed, coming to stop where the constable was waving his flag ssAll right said Hurd, "now go'' He went with the merry ha-ha of halt the inhabitants ringing in his ears as he moved onward at moderate speed.
