To Nab Speeders

Camden Police Department, with
Police Commissioner J. E. Ross several
days ago, patrolmen and truffle
officers wore Instructed to bear down j
on all speeders, drunken drivers, reckless
drivers, motorists who double
park. In fact on all Infractions of
traffic rule#. >
The police head emphasizes the fact
that the practice of some motorists In
speeding after the Are apparatus on
Are runs would have to stop. As a
result of this order two Camden young I
men wore placed under arrest after
they had staged a sprint after the Are
truck In an alarm last week. One of
the young men was charged with
travelling 55 miles an hour on Fair
street and paid a Ane and costs of
111.00 A summons was Issued for the
arest of another young man for reckless
driving behind a Are truck on
DeKalb and Lyttleton streets. Officers
Mahoney and Nolan Agured in these
arrests.
Because of frequent complaints
regarding the practice of motorists to
double-park on DeKal'b street between
the Oamden Hotel and Broad street,
police have been Instructed to arrest
all offenders. A survey made during
the past several days showed that several
motorists make a practice of
stopping In front of the theater or the
City Drug Company Store and also
Elliott's Tavern to either pick up
somebody In these places or, as was
evideheed in several cases, Just to
have a tete-a-tete with a friend. In
most cases the offenders were women
drivers. The police announcement
was to the effect that all offenders in
this particular would be Aned. The
j police point out that DeKalb street Is
a federal highway and that double
parking must stop.
Police Haul Cars
Prom City Streets
The city street cleaning department
has complained to the police against
the practice of motorists parking their
cars In the down town district over
night. ,
Last Tuesday night the police, with
the aid of a wrecker removed seven
cars, which had been left parked by
their owners on DeKalb and Broad
streets Chief of Police Alva Rush
states that the cleaning of the streets
is greatly handicapped by the cars,
which have been left parked for the
night. Unless these cars are removed
it is impossible for the sweeper to perform
effectively.
The chief made it plain that the
practice of parking all night would
have to atop and that in the future,
offend ers would have to pay a fee for
the wrecker service.
It was also pointed out that all
night parking of cars on the residential
streets is a dangerous practice.
The responsibility for any accidents
or collisions caused by all night park*
ing is a serious one for the owners of
the parked car.
