Antn Spee1ers Fined.

Auto speeders in this section got
jolt on Saturday and Sunday, the
effect of which was noticeable in the
modest pace at which machines went
through, our town in the evening.
The practice of driving through our
town and along the State road at any
speed the autoists desired has long
been INDUCED in, and as a conse-
quence when a motorcycle police
man from the State Roads depart
ment visited Rising Sun on Saturday
he soon had three speed violators
before Magistrate Nichols, who i'm
posed the fine, stipulated in the law,
of $25 and costs for exceeding the
speed limit, which is 35 miles per
hour on the public highway and ID
miles per hour through towns.
On Sunday five more arrests were
made and fines administered. In all
eight arrests were made, two of
those hailed before the Justice being
fined, in addition to speeding, for
failure L lave their drivers license
with them. These fines all go to the
State Road fund, and if all who de-
served it got their deserts for reck-
less driving the amount would be a
big one.
