V! The most seriousfeature of speed- 3 ing in `towns is the way it `endangers d life--`-particularly children; Time and again motorists are seen driving along Bradford St. at a speed which jeopardizes the safety_of the school children should any fall or be pushed oil the sidewalk in play. Many com- plaints on this score are received by the police from parents. A Burton Ave. father recently wrote: I would like to draw your attention 'to the g way cars speed along this street; My boy and another little chap. about three years old, came near being -hit by a car, and in orders to save them the car skidded thirty-six feetbefore it came to a stop. I would like you ` p to take some action to see that this speeding is stopped. Chief Stewart is endeavoring to stop it. [If _a child were to be killed or seriously injured by a. speeding car, there would be an immediate outcry for action by the police. Who will say that it is not the part of wisdom to try and stop the practice before a fatality or ser- ious accident occurs? e L. &%wm&&&&m&wm&w; 1g AMONG EXCHANGES 1` >14 *IOIOIOX010IOI4 >314 >I0I0I0I0I0I0I4 wvavnl MLVIVJIIE u}.l'Uug ES` the county people show driving in the city, speeding prosecutions in town police courts would be few and far" between. - .
