The automobilist pays into the treasury of the State of Pennsyl vania more than three million dollars annually for the privilege of coaxing his car over State Roads that in most cases are little short of abominable. This sum of three millions of dollars is a mere bagatelle to the sum he pays for the damage to his ma chine, caused by the cuppy bumpy rutty stony roads that he must of necessity go over, if he is to get any use of his machine. When he goes out for a day's run, there is so much of the road over which he must go limping along, that when he finds a smooth stretch, he is tempted to make up lost time, and naturally hits it up, and a speed of thirty miles in the open country on a decent road is only a moderate gait; but as the law says you must not exceed twenty-four miles, you must either hold your machine down to that limit or take chances. This is what hap pened down four miles east of Gettysburg one Sunday after noon recently, on a nice peace of road: An eighth-mile was meas ured off. A State policeman in plain clothes was put on the job and in three hours he was able to go before a justice of the peace and make information against 82 drivers for exceeding the speed limit The policeman admitted that there were seventy others going at the rate of thirty miles an hour that he did not get From the 82 that he did get, there was no back talk. It was a mat ter of the driver or his boss sep arating himself from fourteen dollars $10 fine and $4 costs. The operation is entirely pain less. The first intimation you have that you have been pinched is when you get a letter at the post office on a fine day that you have been assessed $14, and that it is payable at sight to Squire Jones, whose post offiice address is Jonesville, It is the State that has you, and you have the choice of being a prompt payer or los ing your license. Another State Policeman made information before Justice of the Peace Mohler at Mechanicsburg last week against autoists who were traveling between Hoges-I town, Cumberland County and Harrisburg on the pike between Carlisle and Harrisburg. Mohl-I er sails that a fine of $25 and costs would be laid for . the first offense, and double that sun for subsequent offenses. Among the autoisits in the bunch last named were D. M. Rahauser of Chambersburg, D. E. Long of Fayetteville, anb Frank Holler of Shippensburg. We respectfully suggest that a policemau be stationed on the Lincoln Highway almost any where between McConnellsburg and the top of Sideling Hill mountain to encourage antoists to speed up eneugh to keep out of the way of ox teams hauling cord wood. , Fine farm For Sale.
