The Perfect Speed Trapper;
Or. Side Car Justice

A township justice attended band
concert in the public square OF the
county seat one balmy summer even
ing. At the conclusion Of the concert
he was DESTROYS of spending the small
sum in his pocket for refreshment
rather than for carfare. but was averse
TO walking home. He encountered
near by an uneducated country youth
who rode motorcycle equipped with
a side car.
To him the justice said: How would
you like to ride me home in the side
car? You're going that way anyhow;
and if We catch speeder in the crowd
going home from the concert, you can
be witness and be paid dollar for
the ride"
The youth took the chance. which
wasn't so much of chance after all.
They followed motorist driving about
twenty-five miles per hour; he was ar
rested, tried by the side-car justice
with the youth as witness for the
prosecution. and fined Ohio Motorist.

association work for legislation 10

Meeting highways in the same condi-
ton as the state roads adjoining, if

ard of uniformity, and that the Secre-
tary o. State be authorized to pass
Upon and license use of suchslenses as
will comply with the Law.
Members of the association we're
called upon during the continuance OF
the war to conserve gasolene in every
way possible.
The law and legislative committee
is to draw up aud introduce laws pro-
hibiting the oiling of any road or high
way in the state 70 the extent of more
than one-half thereof at any time.
The remaining part is not 70 be fin
ished until ten days thereafter. unless
covered with an impervious coating OF
satisfactory covering.
One OF the most important features
of the convention was the passage Of
the resolution authorizing the law and
legislation committee 70 draft bill
compelling drivers of all automobiles
in the state TO be licensed without ex-
animation or fee. The licenses are 70
be subject TO revocation for cause after
hearing and conviction.
