Judge chides violators of traffic rules in city
Municipal Judge C R Cameron criticized business men for ignoring the traffic ordinance while hearing M Van Osley of 233 East Ohio charged with failing to stop at New York Street on Alabama Street. He cited widespread violations noting up to 5 000 injured and nearly 100 killed this year and urged enforcement amid prosecutions of other offenders. Ed Eberhardt and relatives faced fines for muddy unreadable license plates, and William S Vawter and Mrs Flossie Siebert were fined five dollars each for traffic violations.
