Those who have been annoyed at
big trucks pounding along with their
mufflers open will read the following
from the Viroqua Censor with inter-
est:
For weeks past the big county
trucks have been roaring and pound
| ing along on their way to and from
the county quarry and the big job
north of town until the folks along
the route are nearly ragged-nerved
from ungodly racket Their united
, thanks are hereby presented to our
| efficient policeman Berlie Morris,
who has had mufflers placed on the
big brutes.

that to remit he thinks, is the only
way to keep us quiet. He adds: "Hope
80; dent have to us3 enough stau:rs
on all your patrons to amount to
years interest on the mony I can't
say, like some, we couldn't live with

New Hampshire and Maine pass thru
Amesbury in large numbers, and the
good roads have tempted fast travel
ing.
AS the leayy of small fine and no
material effect on the number of
speedsters, Chief of Police Rogers de-
cided to post the signs.
| Their effectiveness was shown by
the fact ma % the first SunG:. the
signs appeared there were no over,
