road IS not finished and that autos
must run carefully. In meeting an
other auto or truck, each must slow
down until after the car is we'll un-
der control of the driver, before pass-
ing each other. The shoulders are
not built and it is very dangerous 70
attempt to run close to the edge of
the concrete at a high rate of speed
Traffic on the road must remember
that the road is not open for a speed,
way-but for the convenience of the
travelling public as we'll as those en-.
