Danger Zone Defined.
within the zone bounded on tho
north by the NJ, X q T. railway
tracks, on the south by Eighth street.
on the east by the Midland Valley
tracks. and on the west by Elwood
avenue. the speed limit is fixed by
ordinance AT ten miles per hour. while
in tho balance of tho CITY. the limit
is twenty miles per hour Automo-
hilists must understand that this limit
of sneed means inst what n savs and
that no excess Of speed will be toler-
atod within NV nortion of tho city
Drivers of cars in the residence por-
ton OF the city, and within the twenty
mile area, Will be held just as strictly
to account as those within the business
district, where the ten-mile limit OBJ
tains.
Perhaps much of the law violation
ny tho drivers of cars Is thru care
iessneS and Is unintentional, or II
may be because of the inadequacy
which has heretofore existed in the
poiico department to properly handle
TINS SITUATION. The puDllc must un-
! derstand, however that all persons
! will be treated alike, and 1t is to de-
feat the excuse OF ignorance of the
city ordinance that this warning Is
given.
inc city commission has author
lied the immediate purchase of six
now motorcycles, and directed the
employment of men to operate them.
