HIGHWAYS CLEAN.
 SPEED PREVAILS
Police Open Campaign to Arrest Drivers Who Be-
 long on Speedways

With streets and highways clear of snow and ice, police have begun a campaign against speeding motor ists. Motor patrolmen have been in- structed to make arrests in any cases in which drivers are pro- ceeding at speeds which are ex- ceSsive in view of prevailing condi- tionS.
 Watertown avenue and Thomas ton avenue are being steadily pat rolled by motorized policemen several complaints having been re- ceived that those t horoughfares were being used as speedways. East Main street and Meriden road are also being carefully patrolled.
 Police had little difficulty with drivers while the streets were cov- cred with snow and ice, operators of cars using extreme care. On sev- eral extremely slippery days, the city escaped without any accidents at all. But with the streets again clear, the speeders are back at work.
