ture which provides that the state

The case of Emmett W. Dryer was
heard before Police Justice William
Richie this morning at the city hall.
The fine was fixed at $40 and costs,
bringing the total to over $4,000. Re-
Gently the city passed an ordinance
that automobiles should limit their
speed on the high bridge over the
Baraboo river to ten miles an hour.
Officer Herman Neitzel drew stop
watch on the automobile, owned by
the Marriott Hardware company, and
in court it wass decided the machine
| was exceeding the speed limit. The
state law provides the limit shall be
fifteen miles an hour, but the city re-
duced the limit to ten miles to pre-
serve the bridge. The structure is
not as substantial as it was quarter
of century ago, and it is feared by
the council that fast automobile driv-
ing will endanger the structure. The
defendant did not pay, but gave cral
, notice that the case would be ap-
pealed. 1t is believed at the city hall,
however the amount will be paid.
