SPEEDING DELIVERY TRUCKS
ARE CREATING TERROR REIGN

, is a large group of uncurbed drivers
who should be brought summarily
within the penalty-invokins provisions
of the traffic code. That they are
positively dangerous and distinctly I'M
desirable users of the city streets is
apparent. Certainly. the utter reck-
lessness of drivers of so many light
commercial vehicles is fully as men
acing to human life and easily as po-
tential for injury or death as som"
of the more definitely developed and
generally accepted types of Grim
inality.
What, then. are the available rem
edies for a situation which looms as
unwholesome and as hazardous in II
civic way as an era of banditry or an
endemic disease? The means for
dealing with such a condition exist.
and il is only q question of rendering
them sufficiently active by applying
the necessary prohibitive measures to
those individuals who, If left to them
selves. will continue on their way of
death and destruction.
The traffic code, those who have
studied conditions point out. already
soundly prescribes the sort of danger
Gus driving which is complained of
by hundreds of pedestrians and mo-
florists. Action, therefore, must come
within the field Of law enforcement
and public opinion.
Public Can Aid.
Citizens whose lives and property
are dangered. observers declare,
must look to the officials into whose
hands has been given the task of
compelling observance of existing
law But they, to q certain extent.
will he powerless without the CO.
operation of those persons who can
exact obedience in another way.
Employers, one observer points out.
can do their share by warning their
drivers that recklessness will not be
countenanced. and that no business
consideration can warrant hazard to
life and property. Those who su-
pervise large fleets are known to be
on the alert constantly to caution and
to punish delinquent employees. But
they cannot follow them through the
streets and remain with them during
all their hours of service. In this
respect, it has been suggested, the
public can assist by reporting imme-
diately the infractions of offending
truck drivers to their employers.
1t is conceded that the delivery
truck drivers duties are of charac
ter that gives him greater tempta-
tons to violate the traffic regulations
than other motor car users. He be
comes accustomed to holding speed
at premium. and, where the pas
senger car operator usually has a single
destination with ample time to reach
it, the delivery truck driver may have
as many as a score of places to go on
a single trip. This fact, it is believed
should tend to make him more eau
tions, but, in any event. a driver is
not absolved because his employer
makes demands that lead him to do
illegal driving.
Supervisors Are Deluded.
Usually, the recklessness comes
about on the drivers own initiative.
traffic observers have ascertained.
They are confident that commercial
concerns which operate large fleets of
motor vehicles, as well as the bust
ness which employs but one or two.
would instantly reprimand or dismiss
the driver reported as having com
mitted any violation of the traffic reg

NEW YORK, Dec. P)-Pronounced
reactionary tendencies developed in
todays stock market. The sudden
shift in speculative sentiment was not
associated with any weekend news OF
trade developments, although the open
ing of congress invariably has acted
as temporarily retarding influence
on speculative operations. Net de-
clineS of to points were distributed
over fairly broad list, but there were
also score of rather imposing gains
One of the most interesting develop
mentS of the day was the announce
ment after close of the market that
stock exchange member loans had
crossed the four billion mark for the
first time, the gain last month run
ming over $145,OOO,OO0. Money rates
indicated no strain on the credit sit
uation, call loans dropping to 4 per
cent after renewing at AZ, while time
money was freely supplied at to Az

able at 81 to 4.
Much liquidation probably was in
spired by commission house advices that
the market was entitled to breath

veloped as result of the abbreviated
