 Complaints made to the police by res ldents of Jackson street, alleging that motorists seem to think that street is speedway, are being investigated by the officers. During the past month there have been numerous narrow escapes from injury on the part of pedestrians. who were nearly run down by autoraooii- ists while endeavoring to use the city crossWalks. One evening this week a speedster came down Jackson street at fast rate, turned into Milk street and backed out into Jackson street, only to return up that street at breakneek speed. A group of women about to use the crosswalk from Jackson to Milk street were compelled to scatter for their lives and one of the women who lived in Bal tic was so frightened that she had to be taken to her home in & private automo- bile. The laws for reckless driving are severe and the police state that the limit will be imposed on the speedsters caught violating traffic rules on Jackson street or any other street in the city.
