grounds and Colfax, got busy.
In common seven or eight in a
little Ford was the average load,
which made a pretty good pay
ing trip. But the jitney drivers
did not think they were making
enough. so they speeded up a lit
tie in order to make a few extra
trips.
However, Marshal Givens was
standing around, SO to speak, and
with a watch in one hand and a
note pad in the other, gathered
sufficient information as they
speeded through Main street to
present to Mayor Long. And as
a result nine jitney men were
brought up before the city court
Tuesday morning for speeding.
The mayor gave them the mini
mum fine of $40 and costs $11
each-and all paid their respec-
tive fines, apparently willingly,
for Mayor Long also said in de-
fault of payment they must serve
10 days on the streets.
The parties fined were Raoul
Levy, J. r. Hawkins, Walter
Spencer. Louis Tumminello, Fred
Wilson and w. A. Hurley, all
white; and three negroes.
