Violations


At the Meeting of the Associated

Friday night, Judge Myers introduce
ed resolution dealing with law vio-

Banning, which was passed unani-
mously by the meeting, and the.
structures on the "road hog and

these classes are to the law-abidlng
citizen:
Whereas, traffic, both passenger
and commercial, upon the state high

Whereas, said highway leads for
a large portion of its length over
desert stretches, with towns at long
distances apart and with little OPP
portunity for calling upon Officers
to apprehend violators of the vehicle
act and other laws of the state, and
Whereas, there is constant eX-
cessive speeding, reckless driving
and 'road-hogging' being perpetrat-
ed by drivers Of automobiles on said
highway, who rely upon the absence
Of any police authority and the lone
ly and desert character of the coun
try for the opportunity to perform
without molestation their unlawful
acts upon the road, and
Whereas, by reason of the reck
lessness of such drivers many seri-
Gus accidents have occurred, limo.
cent and lawabiding persons have
been driven from the road, their
ears. overturned and the occupants
in niured and in some cases killed, and
Whereas, there is also great lack
of observance of the law i'll the
matter Of overhanging loads, failure
to carry lights, glarng lights, no
license numbers, obscured license
numbers, swinging trailers without,
light or number, parking on the road
without leaving room to pass, and
other violations of the vehicle act,
occurring daily and nightly on said
