All the city ordinances in regard
to speeding and young kids driving
automobiles are being f%1agrantly vio-
lated again, and the Register has been
requested to call the attention of the
authorities to it just as if it might
do some good. This request has come
from many sources and the Register
desires to say that a few arrests by
the complaining witnesses would not
be out Of order. If the autos go so
fast you can't catch the number, we
might suggest that a shotgun could
get a few hind tires, which would be
equal to a fine, and might slow 'em up
a bit. Don't leave it all to the police
officers for you know Brookings hasn't
more than a dozen.
