The resultant surge of anger in the man and gas in the car often results in higher speeds than are allowed on city MAYOR JIM BAUER could be partially right in his contenâ€" tion that a shortage of police officers is the basic cause of so much speeding in this city, but we feel that much of the specding is the result of a group of eggâ€"headed drivers who insist upon riding the white line centre of the road, and travelling at between twenty and twentyâ€"two mph.

Then I heard the scream of braking tires and noticed the train. With so mary obstruction on the crossing, you can be right on the cowcatcher before you know what is happening. I ground to a halt a few feet away from the tracks and just watched. The engineer was leaning indolently on the window and the brakeman who should have been at the crossâ€" ing warning traffic, was rest ing his belly on the back rail of the caboose.
