lie highways of this county, and of
the constant violation of the liquor
laws by the way of intoxication of
drivers and the reckless manner q
operating machines upon the high
ways, and after a personal investiga-
ton of the matter there remains in
my mind no question but that there
is much ground for the complaints en-
tered, and, owing to the fact it is diff
ficult for persons wronged or injur-
ed to obtain numbers on cars or to
identify the drivers who are going
at such speed before and after. acct
dents caused by such recklessness, it
seems necessary for me to say that
the sheriff and police officers Of this
county should make it a matter of
special concern. Many of these driv-
ers as reported to me are operating
in a manner indicating their perfect
recklessness of human life and prop
erty, and in doing SO violating the
lays of this state and causing it to
be unsafe for the public in general
to drive upon the highways, especial
ly at night.
The laws relative to the rate of
speed and use of DINNERS are well
known to drivers of automobiles and
require no explanation at this time.
The legislature of 1917 enacted a
law providing: Any person who shall
operate or drive motor vehicle up
on the public highways of this state,
while under the influence of intoxicat-
ing liquors shall be punished by a
fine Of not less than $4,000, or i'm
prisonment in the county Jail or De-
troit House of Correction for not
more than ninety days, or by both
such fine and Imprisonment in the
discretion of the court.
This law was enacted for the pro-
lection of people who desire to make
a legitimate use of the highways. 1t
means what it says and should be
strictly enforced. The law makes it
your duty to enforce such law.
. Therefore, l hereby direct your at
tention to the enforcement especially
of the laws in regard to drivers of
automobiles and intoxication in con-
nection Herewith, and desire you to
see that the laws relative to the same
shall be strictly observed, making it
your business to ascertain whether
the law is being violated in this re-
spect upon the various highways of
this county, and to arrest each and
every offender without fear or favor
or discrimination.
