4O-MTLE SPEED LIMIT
PROPOSED FOR N. J.
State Commission Frames Plan For
Uniform Traffic Code Throughout
State.
regulations

Uniform traffic regulations
throughout New Jersey, with the
same speed rules and traffic proceed
ure everywhere whether governed by
LIGHTS or otherwise, and with the
same penalties for violations, are
contained in a proposed code per-
fected at a meeting OF the New Jer-
sey State Commission in the Ritz
Carlton Hotel, Atlantic City, this
week.
The measure was submitted to the
State Legislature at Trenton for pas
sage last Tuesday.
At the same time the commission,
which was created by the legislature
to not only formulate the uniform
traffic regulation measure, but an
other bill establishing central traf-
fic courts in each county, began ex-
continuation of similar court system
in other states.
y Meetings at Various Points
Meetings will be held at various
points of the State during this year
to gather data, and bill providing
for the central courts, eliminating,
among other features, the hearing of
such cases by magistrates and JUS
tices Of the peace, will be submitted
to the 1929 legislature.
The new measure provides max
imum speed of twenty miles an hour
in business and residential sections,
ten miles an hour maximum when
approaching, passing and leaving
school and maximum of forty
miles an hour in the country
Exceeding the speed limits auto
matically classes the driver as being
reckless and subjects him to max
imum fine of $100 or thirty days in
Jail, or both, for a first oIense, and
maximum fine of 5000 or two months
in Jail, or both, for 4 second.
Lesser Penalties Provided
These are all maximum penalties,
the presiding Judge being empower
ed to impose lesser sums or Jail
sentences at his discretion A maxi
mum fine of $50 is provided for les
ser traffic law violations.
The measure provides that a ped
estrian can be arrested and fined
for crossing a street against traffic.
The much talked of habit of traf-
fic officers stopping motorists to sell
them tickets to various events would !
be eliminated under the measure,
which forbids such practice as re-
CARDS not only tickets, but the SELL
ing of anything else.
In an effort to aid police in track
ing down reckless and hit-and-run
drivers as well as criminals, the
measure provides that all garage
owners must under penalty of
maximum $50 fine in each instance,
at once report to police entry into
heir establishments of any machine
bearing marks of an accident or bull
eft marks. or which they may be-
ieve to have been in an accident or
lsed for illegal purpose.

MURDER REPORT FALSE,
SHERIFF CASTEEL SAYS
Andrew ]. Boots" Sims Died
From Exposure to the Cold

The report circulated last Thurs
day to the effect that Andrew J.
"Boots" Sims, of near Kitzmiller, had
been murdered, was declared false on
Friday morning by Sheriff William D..
Casteel, who investigated the case
thoroughly.
Sims body was found last Monday
in the woods near Kitzmiller. He had
been missing since Saturday evening
preceding. Following the finding Of
the body Magistrate Grover Poole
was notified and at a coroner's jury of
inquest that body found that death
was due to intoxication and exposure
to the extreme cold weather then pre-
vailing.
1t was at first thought that Sims
had met with foul play when it was
reported that the man had a large
hole in his head purported to have
been inflicted with some blunt instru-
ment, but later investigation made
by the sheriff and other officers did not
reveal this to be the case.
Sims remains were inferred at Mt.
Zion on Wednesday Of last week.

PEACE BOND EXPECTED
TO FORESTALL TROUBLE
Contestants in Fistic Duel at
Kempton Last Week Make it
Safe for Themselves

Making sure that he would no more
be asked to settle an argument by a
fstic encounter, and his opponent in
turn, making sure that he would have
no more black jacks swung over his
head with damaging results, the two
necessary parties in the fistic duel
last week at Kempton were in Oak
land on Saturday and swore out peace
bonds against each other and their
friends.
Jake McRobie, who was fined $40
and costs last Wednesday by Magis-
trate E. l. West for carrying con-
cealed weapons, went before Magis-
trate Gender on Saturday and swore
out two peace warrants, one against
William Broll, and the other against
Stanley Perchon.
Not to be outdone, William Broll,
who was convicted of assault Wednes-
day evening before Magistrate Con
der, and fined S25 and costs, appeared
before Magistrate West on Saturday
also, and swore out peace warrants,
two against McRobie, and one against
Wilbur Bear. All peace bonds issued
were for $500.
The bonds were fixed at $500 be-
cause the alleged threats made
against the two contestants by their
opponents were considered to be dang
erous, it was stated.
The trouble between the men has
been brewing for several months, ac-
cording to the testimony of week
ago, and it is thought that the issu-
ance of the peace bonds will now be
the means of preserving order be-
tween the two men and their asso-
ciates.

SIGNAL TOWER AT PARK
BURNS;MAYNOTBEREBUILT
Loss Estimated to Be $4,000
Overheated Stove Is Said to
Be Cause of Blaze Sunday

Whether or not the two-story frame
signal tower and telegraph office of
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad at
Mt. Lake Park, which was completely
burned at 4:30 o'clock Sunday after
noon, would be rebuilt could not be
learned definitely from officials of the
railroad at late hour this morning.
The fire, believed to have originated
from an overheated stove, completely
destroyed the building, the loss be-
ing estimated at $4,000. The intri-
cate mechanism of the inter-locking
system, and the other equipment of
the tower was quite valuable, accord
ing to officials.
Operator w. C. Ready and E. v.
Show, assistant road foreman of en-
gines, who were in the telegraph Of
flee in the upper part of the tower
at the time of the fire, were forced to
flee when flames and smoke burst thru
the floor. The stove was in the
ground floor of the tower.
Efforts to eXtinguish the blaze
with extinguishers were futile and the
Oakland Fire department was sum-
moned. The volunteers arrived soon
after, but the fire was beyond control.
E. c. Shirley, assistant trainmaster,
and John L. Matthews, division
operator, with a force of workmen,
established a temporary telegraph Of
flee in the station nearby in less than
one hour after the blaze. The inter-
locking switches, operated from the
tower, are now being operated by
hand, and will continue to be until
those in charge in Baltimore decide
whether or not the tower will be re-
built.
The tower in Terra Alta, which was
destroyed by fire several years ago,
was never rebuilt, but whether the
Mt. Lake tower will be a repetition of
this is unknown. 1t was also learned
that there is a brick signal tower
about one mile east of the Mt. Lake
station, and it was thought that this
might be put into use. 1t was built
during he war, but was abandoned
because of it's poor location.
The mercury stood at five degrees
below zero Sunday afternoon at Mt.
Lake Park, when the fire was dis
covered.

,PLANTOEXTEND WILSON ST.
Is PRESENTED AT MEETING
Council Discusses ACCESSIBILITY
of Connecting Street With State
Road West of Town

The ACCESSIBILITY and probability OF
continuing Wilson street from Liberty
street, across the Baltimore and Ohio
tracks, the Little Youghiogheny river.
DO connect with the State road at the
entrance of the Baseball diamond, was
discussed to some extent at the
monthly meeting of the Mayor and
Town Council Monday night.
SIN furtherance flo this project pc
tition will be passed among the citi-
zens of Oakland in the near future
for their acquiesence or rejection OF
the move" Mayor Lawrence Fraley
said yesterday. ''There will I'M
doubtedly be many against this move,
and there will also be many more in
favor of it. There is no question but
that it will benefit the people of Rose
dale, and this community is growing
more each year. 1t would also be of
much benefit to other people in town,
and will be much shorter route out
of town." Mayor Fraley continued.
To Erect Signs
That there would be "no trespass-
ing" sign erected at each end of the
sewer pipe crossing the Little Yough
river, was also decided upon. "This
is all that the town is able to do" the
mayor said, because the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad company owns the
land, and even if a fence could be
built on each end of the pipe, children
would disregard it."
The question about the sewer pipe
was brought up following the drown
ing a few weeks ago of Roy Dewitt, a
lad of years, who slipped into the
swirling waters as he attempted tic
cross the river on the refuse line.
Anyone disregarding the mo tres
passing" signs can be prosecuted, ii
was stated.
The passing of the monthly bills
: occupied the remainder of the meet
ing. The next session will be held on
February 6.

NEW YEAR ACCOMPANIED
BY COLD WAVE IN COUNTRY
Thermometer Dropped To Five
Degrees Below Here Monday.

Promptly on time the New Year ar
rived in Oakland and Garrett county,
but brought along with it the coolest
weather for year, the mercury drop
ping to below zero for the second time
this winter.
At Weber's a mile or two east Of
Oakland, where a government ther-
mometer is maintained and daily rec
ords are kept, the mercury showed five
below zero on Monday morning, while
at other places in the vicinity of town
the thermometer varied from two to
five or six below. Keyser's Ridge, said
to be the coolest spot in Garrett coun-
ty, registered in the proximity of ten
to twelve below.
While stormy conditions are pre-
dicted for the remainder of the week,
the temperature has been slowly ris-
ing, and it is not expected to fall be-
low the mark reached earlier in the
week.
The temperature dropped approx
mately as degrees within twenty-four
hours from Saturday noon until on
Sunday morning. The change was
sudden and begun with driving rain
and steadily increasing cold which in
a few minutes turned the rain into
snow.
New Years Day Observed Monday
The cold weather, however, did not
prevent a somewhat restricted obser-
vance of New Years day on Monday.
The postoffice and one or two stores
were closed for the day, but the banks
and other business establishments re-
manned open for business.
The drop in temperature was ac-
companied by a slight fall of snow,
which drifted in spots but caused no
roads to be blocked.
Storm Came From The West
The storm which struck the county
came in from the west and was tab
loid of the western blizzard which
made snow-bound many towns near
Chicago and froze many people and
thousands of cattle to death, demor-
allied bus and train schedules and COW
cred the western country under a
heavy blanket of snow.
The storm here, hover, was not
severe enough to cause undue delay in
train or other public utility service.
