desires to keel the material longer
they may do so by writing the
chairman for an extension of time.
Ten cents in stamps should C

WHY HE DIDN'T
STOP SPEEDING
High Constable Wilbern Says II
Was Fault of Highway
Committee

William S. Wilbern. High Constable
OF Highspire. in answer TO the censure
which he claims to have received be-
cause he did not stop speeding of
motorcycles and automobiles through
the borough issued a statement deny
ing that he was at fault. He declares
that the highway committee of the
borough council failed to have a num-
Der of speed limit signs placed in posi-
ton on the public streets until recent
ly. His communication follows:
After delay of practically six
months, the highway committee of
Highspire borough has finally found
time to place in proper position the
speed limit signs along the main thor
oughfare.
The undersigned has on various
occasions been accosted by citizens of
the borough and reprimanded for not
using his power to abate the reckless
and unnecessary speeding of automo-
biles and motorcycles, but owing to
the fact that the highway committee
neglected having the signs placed as
ordered by council in the early months
of this year, it was practically i'm
possible to have this matter remedied.
Since the signs have been placed in
accordance with the State laws, I de-
sire to inform the public that all driv-
ers of automobiles or motorcycles who
do not heed the warning Of these signs
will be brought to justice, without fear
or favor.
II therefore ask all persons who
may have occasion to pass through
our borough to heed the warning of
these signs which specify fifteen miles
as the speed limit, as we'll as the
Danger! Run Slow sign.
Hoping all persons will kindly
cooperate with the officer in strictly
enforcing the laws. thus avoiding any
chance of accident. Heretofore it has
been the custom of many individuals
to use the streets of Highspire as a
speedway, the several serious acci-
dents have been narrowly averted.
our citizens are very anxious to have
this careless running stopped"
