WILL ENFORCE THE CITY
TRAFFIC ORDINANCES NOW

Mayor j. Hunter Hopkins and the
committee of the whole of the Bruins
wick city council met yesterday morn
ing and decided that the city's traf-
fic ordinances shall be hereafter en-
forced in the full meaning of the
law.
The ordinance has always read that
automobiles drawing up to a street
crossing where car is stopped, must
come to complete standstill before
crossing the street, but it has been
the custom here to just drive slowly
and watchout for anyone leaving the
car that no accident may occur, but
the mayor and council think that peo-
pie have become too careless and that
the law must be enforced.
In order that the existing conflicts
between the city health ordinances
and the county ordinances, may be
averted, the city attorney has been
instructed to look into the matter to
find way through which the city or
dinances may be amended to conform
with the city ordinances.
