Policeman Ties a Yellow Card to Steering Gear Summoning Owner Before the Police Magistrate. Chief of Police Robinson and his staff are right after citizens who do not get their 1920 automobile licenses. Citizens have bean given lots of warning that if the new licenses were not obtained by March | 15th they would be summoned before the police magistrate. Several have failed to comply with the order of the chief constable, and have been called | upon to part with $5 and costs. They | have paid their fines without going | before the magistrate. The chief of police is working out a new system. Any time that a con- stable, while on the tour of duty, sess a car with a 1919 license, he im- | ediately takes a yellow card from | 8 pocket, writes the number of the | ar and the time and place where the | car was seen with the wrong number. On the opposite side, the card advises | the owner of the car that he is sum- moned to appear before the police magistrate for neglecting to have the right license number. The card is then tied to the steering gear of the car. In past years the police have had a lot of trouble getting after the men who violate this rule. In past years the number of the license was taken. The constable then had to go to the issuer of licenses, and after getting | the name of the owner, he had to is- sue a summons. In many cases it took some hours to locate the name 5 the man who was violating the aw. On Wednesday morning, a Whig reporter saw a meichant trapped for not having the right license, The man drove down to his place of busi- ness and left the car on the street. Police Constable Timmerman, who happened to be walking up Brock street, noticed the car and immedi- ately placed a yellow card on the steering gear. It was amusing to see the merchant when he came out. = Your Promise Is Good. Do not estimate your ability to subscribe to the Y.M.C.A, by the amount of cash you may have in your ket.
