Phone Main 202. . Monmouth, Oregon To tlif Kditor of The Herald, IVar Sir: last vwk end witncsVd !at least three serious automobile ac cidents in or about Monmouth or vicinity. In each case speeding was the causal element. The time has come to put a stop to this men ace and we citizens of Monmouth owe at to ourselves to see that the streets are made safe for our chil dren to cross. Sunday at five forty Ave P. M. a car buzzed by the Post Office going west on the south side of the street at a conservative esti mate of more than thirty miles an hour. A farmer friend and his wife were in their buggy opposite the Post Office. The farmer looked at mc and asked "Do you stand for that sort of thing in Monmouth?" shrugged my shoulders and made a feeble reply. As a matter of fact we citizens have "Monmouthitis" we wait for the other fellow to swear out a complaint and thee cuss him o'ut if he doe or does not, Don't we have the nerve to brand crime when we see it? Well, in less than two minutes by the watch that same car came whizzing back this time not so fast. Shamed by my farmer friend 1 took the number and had three othersdo the same. A vision of what that car might have done to my children had either at tempted to cross to Morlan's has put nerve into me. I am swearing out a complaint and wish to take this means of informing the public that I intend to do my share toward seeing that such speeding be stop ped within our city. Might ask of you, Mr. Editor that you print the law regarding speeding and also, if you have the space in some future issue, state hew one should go about swearing out a complaint against infringe ments of this law. Just one other word. Some one says we hire the city marshal to make arrests and he never makes any. It is his place to handle the speeding craze. In part that is cor rect, but were I the city marshal I would likely do very much the same as he does. Until we citizens get up enuf backbone to give our mor al support to law enforcement in stead of looking at the marshal's work as a joke, the marshal will be foolish to change from his present attituie of "let 'er buck". Lest we forget.our speed limit is so low that almost every Monmouth car owner has broken it at some time. 1 1 is a pretty safe guens that if one sees a car passing enuf faster than the average flivver that his atten tion is fixed on the speed, the pas sing car is speeding. Those of us who drive and keep anything like a close watch on the speedometer can generally give a pretty close esti mate of how' fast a passing car is traveling. By making a few exam ples there is no reason why speed ing can not be reduced to a mini mum in Monmouth. Let us co operate and make the streets safe for those wishing to cross. L. P.
