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.
