CUT OUT THE CUT OUTS,
Automobilists Warned That Use Il
Against Law

by discontinuing the Use of cut out =
automnbiists will stop violating cit v
ordinance and cease annoying invalids
The illegal and annoying practice
is most frequent on West Ninth street,
where automobile traffic has greatly
increased because of the condition of
the road bed on Delaware avenue. There
are few policemen on West Ninth street
and consequently automobilsts do not
fear arrest for violation of the ordinance
prohibiting the use of cut outs and for
the same reason they drive at excess i've
speed
The noise resulting from the use OF
cut outs IL most annoying in the morn
ing, when automobIlists come down
town, and At night, when they return
home. Because of the numerous eases
OF influenza on West>Ninth street auto
mohilists are requested to discon-
time the use of cut outs and To lessen
