beyond croSswalkS. Move came sup
poSedly as measure to prevent acct
dents. The police dept. was then in
structed to ticket all drivers who
violated the order.

lice dept will obediently carry out

any cases brought before him on
this offense.

soon officials viii discover it is i'm
possible for buses to pull over to
