Mr.. Starke is not alone in his conton-

Inquiring Reporters column Of last issue ]
Opinions there expressed were almost
unanimously opposed to the present blan-
ket rs mi los per hour regulation as
too high speed in tho town proper, too
low speed on the open road, or both.
With these opinions We hear thy agree.
We believe that one reason for the
excessive speed in many cases in the
town Of Greenbelt is the pre- sence Of 25-
mile-limi t markers on the part Of Cres-
cent Road extending through open
try from the high school to the town
proper. These markers almo st univer-

Of markers to which they have been pay

It seems to be the old story Of an un-
enforceable law leading to disrospect
Of better consi dered laws.
We strongly in favor Of Mr.. STAR
ke's suggesti on that 2e-nile-per- hour
law be acted and enforced in Greenbe1t
proper; and we believe That that law
will more easily be enforc ed if the speed
limit on Cres cent Road be tween the high
