To the E ditor:
In your last Issue ap p ears a le tte r
from Mr. R W. Sm ith » h o th in k s 4ty
criticism of our traffic ordinance uti
ju s t.
Mr. S m 'tti cites dog and bicycle
ordinances en acted when I first be
cam e m ayor for what reason I do not
know unless as a fu rth e r proof of my
contention th at th is class of legisla
tion is first to receive the a tten tio n
of sm all town councils.
H aving been a town official for
som e fifteen y ears here and in my
old hom e town and h a v n g been a
p a rty to, the Lord only knows how
m uch, petty legislation and dinky
regulations I think J know th e breed
having been one and am com petent
to be beard
The average tow n council seem s
to be quite snre th at *'Be It en acted “
Is the sovereign rem edy and certain
cure for ev ery th in g but corns and
bunions and is as freely and com
pletely effective as was Jo sh u a's com
m and for th e sun to stand still, an
e rro r to which they a re faithfully
vreddet until titev arriv e at th e age of
d iscretio n which seem s to be som e
w here around the century m ark.
Mr. Sm ith also m entions a certain
chicken ordinance in a spirit of llv ’ty
w hich u n to this day stands unlm parcd
as m onum ent to our statesm anship.
In this Mr. Sm ith seem s to fail to
d ifferen tiate
betw een
en actm en ts
th a t protect life an d property and
tftose that do not.
So far as chickens being allowed
to run
a t larg e
is concerned
th is m ight be perm itted those over a
certain age but really if perm itted
I th in k Mr Sm ith will agree th a t a
lot of them should be required to wear
m ore clothes.
G etting down to b rass tack s my
purpose was to call atten tio n to cer-
ta 'n provis’o -s of th e presen t traffic-
ordinance which I am glad Mr. Sm ith
did not a tte m rt to defend.
I am sincere in the belief th at th e s e !
provisions are u njust. I know th e y !
have driven business aw ay from j
tow n, caused ill feeling and given ns ‘
a rep u tat'o n th at is costing us v e r y ;
much m ore than we can afford. I do
not know th at a C alifornia to u rist has ,
be«n fined w‘th:n th e last t h r « e .
m onths. 1 did n o t say one had I !
en '~ repeated « h a t one said and
w h eth er our rep u tatio n resu lts from
p re se n t or previous folloy's I do not
know. I do know th a t It Is a poor
reputation
to
have
and
th at
th e regulations com plained of protect
of rr o te c t n eith er l i e m orals nor
