THE makers Of inexpensive automo-
l. biles are watching the price of gaso-
line very carefully.
If gasoline goes too high, the man with
the flivver will find it cheaper to use
street cars and railroads. That will
throttle the automobile industry.
You can worry about gasoline prices If
you wish TO.
But the makers of small cars will do it
for you, and they are in position to
meet the situation by finding new
sources, devising substitutes. or by i'm

So many requests have been re-

comodate thousands of theatregoers
throughout the week. 1t is an
nounced that special attention will

Sbeed Limit Raised
On DeIazOare Bridge

With the completion of repairs
on the Lambertville-New Hope
Bridge, the speed limit has been
raised from Z to 10 miles. Some
hoped that it would be raised to
the usual limit of Is miles for
towns and cities, but this was de-
cided against by Engineer Louis
Foeht of the Free Bridge Commits
sion. And this will work to the bene-
fit of the public because it will
save excessive vibration to the struc-
ture, and thus add to its life.
The four lines of traffic plates
laid over the four-inch oak flooring,
is an innovation in this section of
the country, but already it has won
favor with the travelling public.
Heavy trucks are directed to keep
on these traffic plates, and thus
the floor does not get excessive
vibration.
The completion of the repairs by
the Brann & Stuart Co., contractors
of Philadelphia, represents a tri-
umph of skill over severe weather
conditions. Seldom has bridge con-
struction work been done under
such trying circumstances. Due to
the delays caused by the removal
of the trolley tracks on the bridge,
the work could not be started until
late fall. This carried the work thru
one of the severest winters suffered
in this section of the country in
twelve years.
The hardihood of the workmen
and the efficient direction of the
former under Superintendent Rod
gers, is responsible for the persis-
tent work that was done. On many
occasions they had to clear away
the solid coatings of solid ice from
the structure before the days work
could be commenced.

Firemen HAMMERED
By Motorists

Lambertville-A grass fire on the
north side of the city at Main
and Cherry Lane drew a multitude
of automobiles last Sunday after
noon who seriously hampered the
operation of the fire trucks. In one
case a serious accident was mar
rowly avoided when one car cut
in before a fire truck. Fortunate
ly the brakes of the truck respond
ed, and no damage was done.
There is a state law directing all
vehicles to turn in at the curb
when fire trucks are approaching,
and wait until they are past. This
isn't a local law, but a State law,
and it's violation is punishable by
severe fines or imprisonment.
The tweve members of the fire
patrol are deputized as special Of
ficers with the power to make ar
rests. And they have resolved to
break up the dangerous practice of
fire joy-riders if they have to lock
somebody in the "jug" for the en-
forcement of this and other similar
laws, and they cannot afford to lay
themselves open to criticisms from
"higher up"
The congestion of cars at the
fire last Sunday seriously hamper
ed the work of the fremen, and
if the fire had been dwelling
it is doubtful if they could have
saved it.
