The stretch of new paving on Cor
don street and Topeka avenue is a
most any time, autos and also motor
cycles, are to be seen speeding on
these streets. Arthur Brintnal last
evening timed two racing autos that
turned down Topeka avenue from
Gordon street. and the time was three
minutes flat, the distance, before they
turned out of sight, being six blocks.
Had there been even one vehicle in
the street at the time, especially when
they turned, a serious accident could
not have been avoided. The residents
in this part of town are indignant at
the reckless driving practiced, as the
| lives of little children are often en-
dangered, and the noise of the autos
with mufflers wide open, is nerve
racking.
