LEGAL SPEED LIMIT
L
Many Auto Drlveri Are Exceed
ing th Twenty-Five Miles Per
0PFICERS, TAKING NOTE OF DKIVINfl
Arremii and Fine Will Follow -Driver
ol Car Take Notice
The state law ot the maximum
of 25 miles per hour for dfiving
automobiles on the public high
ways will be enforced in Wash
ington County. Officials every
where have received noti :e that
the law must be obeyed. Trans
gressors are not few and far be
tween. On the road between
this city and Forest Grove there
is great temptation for drivers
to "step on the tail," and the
way some of. the machines tear
into the distance isn't slow.
Many have gone as high as 50
miles per hour, while a vast
number of the drivers, it is said,
have made from 35 to 45 right
along. . .
All peace officers are nOw on
the watch, and arrests will fol
low violation of the statute.
Teams will be more safe than at
the present violated schedules,
and officialdom appears to think
it is time to call a halt.
The main Portland road is not
abused on the overplus of the
speed limit, as the highway is a
trifle rough.
Fast driving is a menace to
the road, anyway, no matter
whether the travel is on macadam
or bitulithic macadam. The big
cars going at a decent speed do
not wear the road badly, but
when they get going 35 or 50
mile per hour it means road wear
to the limit. Drivers are given
this tip so as to be able to side
step a stiff fine."
