A THE MOUNT JOY BU VOLUME XV11. NO. 15 AUTOISTS SHOULD RESPECT THE LAW JUST KEEP ON SPEEDING ON MAIN STREET, MOUNT JOY, AND WE WILL SET A FEW EXAMPLES. Now that the local authorities have greatly improved Main street, in this place, which is over a mile in length, our Burgess, Boro Council, business men and citizens kindly ask autoists to have some respect for this town when passing thru. The good condi- tion of our street is too tempting to many of them and there is no limit to the speed of their machines. We do not care to follow the footsteps of Columbia, Marietta, Middletown, and other places, by making whole- sale arrests, but only ask auto drivers | to respect the state law. If this re- quest does not bring the desired re- sult, examples will be made of some of the offenders and you can rest assured that violators are not all non- residents of this town. At the suggestion of Council, Mr. H. M. Stauffer, of the Street commit- tee, was instructed to appeal to the County Auto Club relative to thk matter. Following is his letter to Secretary Forney, of the Club: “Mount Joy Borough in connection with the L. E. & M. Turnpike Com- pany has rebuilt the L. E. & M Turnpike (our Main street) from the Eastern to the Western Borough limits, a distance of about 11% miles. This stretch of good road is al- ready tempting many drivers to ‘let er spin.” As yet we have done nothing to lower the speed limits allowed by the state law; namely 24 miles per hour. If, however, the tendency to ignore this limit continues we will have to take advantage of our right to reduce the limit to fifteen miles per hour and insist on its observance. All of this we believe is along the lines your organization is trying to accomplish and we therefore suggest that this matter be brought to the attention of pur members so as to assist us in regulating the traffic in a decently and orderly manner. The big majority of the drivers appreciate these local conditions but it is the few reckless ones who bring all into disrepute and in many in- | stances leads to wholesale arresting | for violations. May we depend on your co-opera- tion? rere el Gr Qe | TYPHOID FEVER GRIPS | EAST PETERSBURG | East Petersburg is in the grip of a typhoid fever epidemic, there being | twenty-six cases reported in that vi- cinity.

Postmaster J. Willis Freed informs us that the recruiting depart- ment at Lancaster gave as the reas- on that they enlisted there when they should have applied to the respective postmasters in the various rural dis- tricts. Every postmaster in the county (except in first-class offices) can receive applicants, after which they are sent to the proper authori- | ties and under these conditions each | district gets credit for all its enlist- | ments. el Qe WAY AND SIMPSON BOTH FOUND GUILTY Harry Way and Harry Simpson, | both colored, were placed before the | court indicted for the larceny of (fifty dollars worth of junk on the | night of August 9, from the prem- |ises of the Lancaster Ray Company, { this place. Max Brody, the manager of the junk company, was the prose- | cutor. The jury accused the de- fendants of being guilty of the of- | fense, and recommended Harry Way {to the mercy ef the court.

BH New Trolley Line Soon Indications point to the construc- tion of another trolley line in Lan- caster comnty as soon as laber can be secured. The line will extend from Manheim to Hershey, which will open a splendid section, thickly in- habited and through fine scenery. Rights of way are being secured as rapidly as possible. This will com- plete trolley connection between Harrisburg and Philadelphia. Typhoid is Raging Raging unabated the typhoid fe- ver epidemic in East Petersburg and vicinity is daily claiming more vie- tims. In the last twenty-four hours nine new cases were reported to the health authorities, making the total to date twenty-six. More cases are under surveillance and may develop. No deaths have as yet resulted from the malady. ~—-P-EBeeeee — A Big Egg Plant John D.
