Automobiles Incensed at People
Who Would Damage
Tires.

A man who was operating new
Automobile stopped representative of
the Gazette this morning and asked
! if there was a law forbidding persons
from throwing broken glass into the
public streets. When told that per-
sons guilty of such acts could be
fined, he was anxious that some of the
miscreants be caught.
There is but one way to proceed.
The police are supposed to arrest any
one seen in the act of placing rub
tbish of any sort in a public street
Ebut as the officers do not possess as
many eyes as Argus, citizens should
do their part towards bringing Of
TENDERS to justice by promptly re-
porting any violation of the law tc
the police, giving the names of The
offenders.
About twenty years ago, when Sc
many persons, young and old, rode ol.
cycles, it was the diversion of some
persons to strew broken glass on un
paved streets and partly cover TIT
menaces to rubber tires with earth
1.-THE cost of a new tire for a bicycle
was at that time comparatively small
but those used on automobiles are ex
pensive and then when one is made
lpractically useless it costs something
to replace it.
