Harry Shields was struck by an
auto yesterday as he was riding his
bicycle. The lad was not perceptibly
injured, but his bike received a hard
Jolt. The accident occurred at the
First National bank corner, where so
much obstruction appears in the
street on account of the new building
Although the auto was moving slow
ly, the lad failed to see it as he rode
towards the machine. This is con-
sidered a dangerous corner, anyway,
owing to the inability of drivers to
get a view ahead for any distance, to
speak of. A sign cautions autos to
slow down." and for the most part
the request is obeyed, which was the
case in this instance, or otherwise the
boy might have been seriously hurt.

1t has been the custom of some
auto drivers to permit their auto num-
bers to become despatched with dust
and grease, rendering the figures unin-
ItelIigible. 1t is stated that the police
of the city will undertake to see that
the numbers are kept in condition to
be readable. A fellow not long ago
Twas speeding to beat the band. A
policeman, crossing the street ahead
of him, gestured for less speed to be
shown. 1t was early in the evening
so that the drivers identity could
mot be ascertained. When the police
Imam undertook to take the number
,lof the auto as it whizzed by, he found
,Ifhat grease and dust obscured the
Figures. Some chaps besmear theii
/ iauto numbers with grease for just
such purpose, say the police, hence
/ the inclination to put a stop to it.
