To the Commission Council, City Of
Donaldsonville.
The Junior Chamber
of Commerce has noted that certain
cities have passed ordinances pro-
hibiting persons under sixteen years
of age to drive automobiles within
the city limits. The object Of this is
to suggest that it might be a good
idea to pass such an ordinance in
Donaldsonville in the interest of the
Safety First" campaign.
The speed limit of automobiles
should also be enforced, as at present
automobiles have no regard whatever
for it, A letter in The Chief of Janu-
airy %, 1916, written by Mr.. C. M.
Odeil, is an instance where consider
able damage may have been done by
chauifeurs not regarding this law.
