VIOLATED NEW AUTO LAW
Mark Sanders First VioIator of New Traffic Ordinance-Ran Without Tail-lght Burning-Draws Fine of Sl and Costs.
And it's being enforced

And s Delng enforced.
 That IS the new automobile law is making itself felt among the auto drivers of the city.
 Tuesday evening Mark Sanders, who drives a Ford car, in company with h.s wife, and the editor and the editors wife attended the picture show. Starting home the car was stopped on Emma Avenue, right under the glare of the electric lights, by Marshal Cover, who wondered why the red light in the rear was not burn ing. IL was cordially explained that the oil in the lamp had turned to water. and refused to stay at the proper illumination required under the new law
 The party was allowed to proceed homeWard, and Wednesday morning Mir. Sanders, submitted to Mayor Smith and received fine Of S1 and all costs, making the entire bill amount to S4 80. This was the first offender hailed before the mayor. and the ordinance has been in force since last Friday. ample evidence that the local owners and driVdfs are paying attention to the new traffic ordin- ance, and it's provisions-but are they?
 Wednesday afternoon. the editor, the same fellow who witnessed the first transgression of the Jaw, accord lng 70 police courts records, stood on the streets of Springdale, and in less than thirty minutes counted five automobiles standing on the streets in violation of the new ordinance. Most of the violations were due to the fact that the license numbers were not displayed. One car had no license plates at all Another had Texas displayed in the rear none in front; another had license tag in front, none behind; another had a license tag be- hind. none in froat-and the ordin- ance says:
 The owner of each motor vehicle shall have a number corresponding with the number of the certificate of registration said number to be conspieiously displayed upon the front when on the streets of Springdale"
 The News Is highly=in favor of the rigid enforcement of u. new auto law, We believe 1t should be enforced to protect the citizens of Springdale. dut We AptCI u IGIlO ctIi IluDIl0lly possible to the enforcement of same. However, we do not intend that violations shall go on day after day, without attention If 1t becomes necessary The News will aid the of ficers in the enforcement of the new ordinance by publishing each week d list of the numbers of the various cars violating the ordinance.
 Again the ordinance places the speed limit at fifteen miles per hour in the business section-and some cars are easily making twenty five we know who they are too Again, the ordinance provides that no car shall turn a corner at greater speed than six miles per hour, and signal shall be given before turning-and some cars haven't any warning signal, or they are elogged up and never used, and some go around the corners with throttle wide open.
 Let's enforce the auto law rigldly.
