SPEED COP CALLS
ATTENTION TO LAWS
Traffic Officer James A. William-
Would Have Autolsts Acquainted
With Regulations Concerning
Lights, Speed, Cutout-.
Licenses
With the advent of spring and the
automobiles appearing in the usual
numbers on the streets and highways
of the county, the problems relative
to the regulation of the traffic are
coming to the fore, and Traffic Of
ficer .lames A. Williams is laying
plans for his season of hard work.
There are four points especially
upon which Mr. Williams is anxious
that automobile owners should in
form themselves in the beginning of
the season, and thus save annoyance,
inconvenience and perhaps expensive
accidents.
First, the proper handling of
lights. The law specifies that the
rays of the headlights must not be
higher than 4 2 inches above the
ground at a distance of 75 feet in
front of the car. Mr. Williams is
now taking up the question of test
ing stations for the accommodation
of the owners of cars at various
places over the county, the Standard
Oil company having the matter of
the free erection of suitable places
for this purpose, but any owner, with
the loss of but a few minutes of time
can drive his car to within 7.". feet
of a building and properly adjust
his lights. In the matter of the use
of spotlights, the abuse of which is
no longer to be tolerated in the
county, the law requires that the
rays of the spot light must be de
flected at least six feet to the right
ol an approaching car at 75 feet dis
tance.
Second, speed. Under no circum
! stances is it allowable to drive a car
at a greater speed than 30 miles per
l hour on a country road or 20 miles
j per hour within a town or city, and
1 there are additional points to be re
! membered, such as the passing of
! school grounds during certain hours
j at a speed of 12 miles an hour or less
j which must be remembered. The
new traffic officer intends to see
that speed regulations are observed
I in this county as much as lies with
| In his power, and swift punishment
| will be meted out to offenders.
Third, it must be remembered
; that cut-outs must be closed within
i the limits of towns and cities.
Fourth, the law requires that the
I license certificates must be carried
!on the car. Every owner should see
to It that this rule is absolutely
obeyed and devise some definite plan
for the accomplishment of this end,
l no matter who drives the car.
Mr. Williams Is asking all peace
officers to inform themselves as to
| the provisions of the state law, and
be prepared to Intelligently co-oper
ate with him in the regulation of the
traffic. It is of course Impossible
for him to be at all places at the
same time, and it will require this
co-operation to maintain the proper
regulations. , '
He is also considering the organi
zation of a citizen's committee from
rmong the interested and represen
tative citizenship of the county,
whose duty-it shall be to report
names, numbers or otherwise, In the
case of violation of regulations and
to act also in the effort to keep
down the stolen car list during the
season.
