 WILL ! GET LIMIT.
Health And Police Authorities Are After Street Car
 DefiIerS

Widespread complaints that the or dinanee prohibiting smoking and splitting on street cars is being fla grantly violated. aroused members of the city commission to action Monday.
 The health and police departments made plans for a concerted crusade and the emphatic statement came from Mrs. Mary Echols, commissioner of health, that "drastic measures to end this nuisance will be employed"
 Detectives and special officers of the health department will be as signed to ride street cars and the maximum penalty will be asked for violators brought before the re- corder.
 "This is hard ordinance to en- force, but continued violations are striking at the health of the city, and from now on street car smokers and spitters had better watch out" Commissioner Echols declared.
 The possibility of amending the existing ordinance so as to make it more drastic was discussed at city half and there were indications that pr. J. D. Bowling, city health offi- cer, would be asked to make recom- mendations on the subject.
 If the joint campaign of the police and health departments fails to bring quick results the health department will consider the advisability of designating all street railway train men as special health officers, with full authority to arrest and make cases against violators of the ordt- nance.
 All members of the commission, stirred over the repeated reports that the ordinance is being ignored, told officials of the health and police de- partments they would back them to the limit in their efforts to break. up present conditions on the street cars
