Fined $150 For Driving Too Rapidly
A Middletown motorist was fined 150 dollars and costs after conviction in Peoples Court for exceeding 70 miles per hour and reckless driving. Claude Leroy Miller was found not guilty of turning off his lights to avoid identification. An appeal was noted by his attorney Alton Y. Bennett. Magistrate H Reese Shoemaker Jr. cited Maryland’s high traffic accident rate and urged harsher penalties to curb accidents. The chase began after a stop near Route 40 and 40 A at midnight on June 26. Miller contested speeds, while experts testified speeds up to 60 mph were possible. Miller faced a 150 dollar fine for speeding and 100 for reckless driving.

You May Still Get That Tax Refund You May Still Get That Tax Refund
Richmond Ind July 26 Don’t despair if your income tax refund check hasn’t arrived. George M Woods just got his 1947 refund. Along with the refund check for 35 70 the Treasury Department sent an explanation. It seems the check was sent to Richmond Calif by error and then to Richmonds in several other states. It finally was returned to the Treasury Department. The situation was further confused by the fact that Woods had since moved to Greensfork near Richmond. But the check dated May 6 1947 finally arrived yesterday. With it the Treasury Department sent the original envelope covered with postmarks from Richmonds around the country.
