 Whether the police are right or wrong and the speed limit is a safe guard or an absolute rule, it is cer- tain that the non-motoring public will demand more rather than less protec-- ton. But the motorist is necessary factor of the community, and the laws should not be aimed to put him ont of existence, but to encourage him to lessen more and more the breach that exists between the motor ist and the non-mctorist until they both meet on common ground.

WORK ON SHEEsPSHEAD
 BAY SPEEDWAY BEGUN

Things are moving towards the ac- conn p1ishment of the project of the tfen to give to New York the great est motordrone and arena of sport in Athe world: Everard Thompsons the manager isa already on the job.
 Immediately following the official announcemeut of the formation of chase of the {Sheepshead Bay track last week from the Coney leland Jockey club, work began Three hnudred men ane now engaged in wreclzing the present structure to clear the ground for the buiudings and new grandstamds and the two. ulfle course The ack~wil1 be of wood, radical departure from the brick surface at the Indwlanapo1is track and the concrete course at BneoRlands.

A concrete. surface was first consider ed, but with the banking of the turns consisting of combination of two curved surfaces it would be tmpossi- bIe to fit a. smooth surface free from waves with concrete or any other street pavement

 sAnytoNV, I am sure the track will hold any speed that any racing car can show. Drivers will not have to slow downssa bffs since they will ap- preach the main curve by an ease meat curve s720 feet in length. The construction is similar to- the sspiraP employed by railroad builders in ap- preaching a curve.
 saThe two-uliIe circuit will be made Hp of two strafghtaways and two curves each a half mile long. The Ngtdth of the sstraightaways will be TO aest and the curves 76 feet. The euEn wdll be banked 25 feet inches hfg74tr than the elevation of the sur 2ace at the inside Of the track The curve of the surface will be a. true iparabo1a with the apex at the foot of the slope The track will be built of by inch lang leaf Georgia vel low pine beams laid in the direction of the course. They will be spiked together and creosoted, and laid with the Joints broken
 ssAt the turns the surface will be laid on steel girders curved parallel to Ahetrue surface Of the track. The upH gI1ts will be steel columns vary ing from to 25 feet in height, IA feet on centers across the track, and feet 8 inches on centers on the line of the track. On the straightaways these 2 by 4 beams will be supported ed on concrete waIfs, these walls be- ing oA an average feet deep, inch es thick and TO feet long.
