Why Not Try It?
The New Auto Code
IsEffective Jan. 1st
"PROVIDES THAT CARS ENTER.
ING MAIN THOROFARE FROM
SIDE STREETS MUST COME
TO A FULL STOP
Motorists are urged by the Lan-
caster Automobile Club to acquaint
themselves now with the provisions
of the new State Vehicle Code,
which becomes effective January 1,
1928. Many new regulations are
included in this code and it is the
duty of every owner and driver of
a car, officials of the Auto club
state, to know about the new regu-
lations and to begin practicing some
of them, There is one, of course,
that must not be practiced until the
new code goes into effect, and that
is the clause which increases the
speed limit from 380 to 35 miles
per hour on the open highways and
from 15 to 20 miles per hour else-
where except in school zones.
Another important provision is
OUR SCHOOL BOARD
IN MONTHLY SESSION
The school board met in regular
session on Monday evening with all
members except Mr. Thos. Brown,
present.
Mr. James H. Metzler, tax collec-
tor, was present and discussed the
exonerations with the Board. Those
justly deserving same were exon-
erated.
Supervising principal, Prof.
trauer and Prof. Brandt, of the
Grade Schools, were present and
reported five hundred seventy-four
pupils enrolled. The Board decided
to have a Literary Society in both
grade and high schools. The ar-
rangement of the meetings will be
given to the public in the near fu-

by the pastor,
the car operators may be fully
quainted with this regulation
the time the new code goes into ef-
fect.
The new code also provides
if the front seat of any motor
that
ve- |
hicle is occupied by more than three |
persons and an accident occurs by
reason thereof the operator is guilty
of reckless driving. This is consid-
ered by club officials to be an im-
portant provision and one that
must be obeyed to the letter. In
fact they suggest that no
than two people occupy the front
more
seat.
These and other provisions should
be studied and in order to ac-
quaint the motorists of this section
with the regulations included in the
new code the Lancaster Automobile
Club will, from time to time ex-
plain through the columns of this
numerous changes that are brought
about under the new law.
