ELSMERE FIREMEN
TOO FAST in CITY

William schneckenberger, driver
Of fire truck belonging to Elsmere
Fire Company. will be arraigned in
Municipal Court tomorrow morning
charged with violating the speed
law in passing through this city yes
terday afternoon enroute to a fire
at Hillcrest.
The driver failed to take the most
direct route to the fire but went
over Washington street bridge. In
making the turn at Eleventh and
Washington streets the apparatus is
said to have been going at such a
rapid speed that the wheels on one
side left the ground. and a ladder
was thrown to the street.
The driving was witnessed by n
number OF police officials and a
motorcycle officer was sent in pur-
suit with orders TO notify the
driver on his way home to report
at the police station. which was
done.
As our local fire apparatus is
compelled to respond to fires at a
reasonable speed the Bureau of Po-
lice do not think il necessary for
any apparatus simply passing
through the city to travel at such
speed as TO endanger life.
