Must Observe Stop Sign*
City police officers, Wm. Howell
and Louis English have begun a more
rigid enforcement of the stop sign
ordinance.
As usual when a little
leniency is shown, some auto drivers
have taken advantage of it and are
disregarding the stop and slow signs
entirely, and the officers are now
handing tickets to all offenders. And
they add “the ordinance says stop,
and shifting gears and going on
through without stopping is not suf­
ficient” Several collisions have hap­
pened recently at intersections in the
business district because the signs
were disregarded, and the police say
the practice miut stop.
