NEW SPEED LAWS
IN EFFECT TODAY

New speed laws governing motorists
throughout the state of California are
in effect today.
Everey city speed law in the state
which does not conform to the state
law itself has been automatically re-
oeaed by the recent ruling of the Su-
preme Court, according to local legal
authorities.
So far as the state speed low is con-
ce1ned, there is no such thing as a /
city" point out officials of the Auto .
mobile club of Southern California,
the q finitions of "congested district
closely settled" district and "open
spaces taking the place of cities.
Edicts Annulled
According to the Supreme Court,
cities have no power to make speed
laws Of their own, and all such exist
ing laws are null and void. The state
law for business sections is fifteen
miles an hoar. No city can say it shall
be twelve miles an hour, or that mo- J.
lists shall MAINTAIN a speed o. less tina n
ten mileS an J oHr over street cross
ings.
This decision is the result of effort
of tie legal department. of the Auto
/ mobile club t. secure uniformity Of
speed laws throughout California SO
that there shall be no more confusion
IN the minds Of motorists and no more
profitecring on the part Of unscrupu-
lous municipalities which wish to CAPT
talizc their prerogative in setting traps
for visiting motorists and then fine
them for violating some city ordi-
nance.
"Districts" Explained
Motorists declare that this is one of
the greatest triumphs in the history of
the automobile organization. The legal
department of, the club pointed out
yesterday that the new regime is in
effect today, and will remain in effect.
Instead Of motorists having to re-
member multitude of city "rules and
regulations" such as six miles an hour
speed over crossings, and eight miles
an hour in tunnels, etc, etc, it was
. the object of the Automobile club to
have them remember only those laws
which are statewide.
What is a "business district" and
whot is CLOSELY built up" district ?
These, it is pointed out by the clubs
legal department. are decided by the
state law itself, and must be indicated
to the motorists by triangular signs
erected at the boundaries of the said
districts.
State Law Rules
In the absence Of such signs, in case
they have not been erected by the
city, the municipality cannot prosecute
speeders if the speeders don't know
what district they are in, according
to David r. FAIRIES. general counsel for
ehe Automobile club.
The Supreme Courts decision, ac-
cording to Mr.. FAIRIES, does away at
once with all local regulations, and all !
prosecutions must hereafter be under |
the state law alone.
The new ruling was made by the
Supreme Court in response to the test
case of Earle M. Daniels, an Automo-
bile club member, who agreed to gol
to Jail to test the validity of Pasa-
dena ordinance regulating speed on
the Colorado street bridge. He was

The sporting season of the Imperial
Valley will open on October Is, for on
that date Harry Woodbury., manager
of the FL Centre Athletic Club has an
nounced the opening of the first
matches for fall season.
A card never before presented in this
section has been framed. Little Joe,

be on hand that night. He is one Of
the three lads started by Harry some
years ago, when the San Diego club
was first started George Thompson
was one of the other boys.
Whether Thompson will be in our

ever it is not likely.
.The reason for the whirlwind card"
said Harry, sis that the proceeds Of
the first bouts will be given to the
American Legion. In fact the first
card will be presented under the
auspices of the American Legion. The
Legion has given its backing to the
club and will aid the management in
every way possible"

t, enter the club at any time for a
fest four rounds. The punching bag
and other equipment owned by Wood
bury will be at the disposal of the
members of the Boyce .Aten Post at

Diego within the next few weeks and
bring back with him the boys of his
first card. San Diego, Los Angeles,
and possibly San Francisco will be
visited by him.
Il am out to give El Centre one Of
the hest clubs in the state" said Harry.
''and as long as it's case Of win or
lose It's going to be the best"
The deal for the house was closed
