ed his case in time TO rthe usual fine
Of SIS for passing street car on Main
street while passengers were being
discharged. The car owner was not
aware Of any crime which he had
committed, and was of the opinion
that il some of the hundreds OF cars
which parked continually in front of
Hartley's store and other places on
Main street were requested to cease
so doing, 1t would make it easier for
other cars to pass and do away with
many complicated happenings which
occurred. He explained that he was
rolling along with the car and that so
many people were crossing the street
and other cars were behind him that
he hardly knew what to do. He tried
getting ahead before the street car
stopped, but other cars standing on
Main street prevented. He then tried
to come up ahead Of the street car
and pass over, but couldn't make IL,
The mayor replied that he might
come in this evening for q more

seriously to the publicity OF the thing,
