After Autos Always. ' The; most interesting ' action ' of the board to the city' a,t large and to pos sessors of the nearly. 4 00 -automobiles , in Charlotte was the, action taken in voking th? s -chief of ' police t to f start a crusade againrt speeding and to keep the think up indefinitely; not dropping it after a few days', work as has-been 'done heretofore on''severaI occasions, in faction , all occasions , when - such enforcement was started. v ' - kJ. Th euggeetion of this plan brought forte-flplnlonsvfrora i all "members of 'the hoard; with a decided "difference of opinion : 6bservable.-: : Cot W, W. Phifer, ' who as mayor pro' tem was in the chair, thought "that the' spirit of the law' was what should be ' taken care of," and that tdrl vers fwho make a habit of over) speeding and running thfir machines regardless -of the - reg ulations of ; the' State arid city should bo looked after bys -thel 'officers bf the law; buftbat Uviolicetneh should use careful discretion in ' enforcing , the automobile speed laws.. Colonel Phi fer eaid that he' had once before sug gested to oncers that they lay their nei for those.: who. were making. IS or 20 miles, although the law. fixes 12 miles as a ; muximum; - with about - 4 miles for Independence square. - ; Mr. T. Xi': Allison, - who . was among those who were taken in under a re cent temporary'upheaval' of desire to bring in all speeding automobiles who could be found running, at so - much per according to the' stopwatch i of the officer; agreed with Colonel Phifer that discrete n was the thing which the minds ' of , thf.- determined police phould ': be impregnated with -before' they went out on an automobile hunt. , On the other hand there were opin ions equally as . aluable an J - Import -ant emanating ' from , Messrs. Davis, Chambers and Williams, who : held tnat the IS-nile limit was the proper thing and :. hat 1 8 and 20 miles wai really rmaxlo.um speed beyond whim sane men ' shculd" not desire to race their machines, much, less keep - pe destnans; -hbvering to- the sidewalks to stay clear cf jSanger, . - . ' The ; outcome of this debate' how ever; was the strict issuance of orders to the Thief of police to see that the law is "eternally and not temporarily enfe-rced. . - , . " 2 Fix Up West Fourth Street, r - r. There came before the executive board last nifcht seeking the widening or rather the p&Wng of We,st Fourth street. Mr. Wf C. Dowd, who has re cently : made arrangements . with the city whereby the city lakes1 three feet and six inches of his newly purchased property - on -the north " corner of the intersection of j Church and ' . Fourth streets for sidewalk ' purposes, ) 'thus giving- room to widen v the ; narrow street, in that section nearly four feet. 'Mr. Dowd said that the 3'. 1-2 feet wuld be left , open - and unimproved unless;lhe cit stepped in, this being a part of theold sidewalk which will eb placed, outside the'eurb for street usage. " He urged the board hat some nia"ns :be! "devised forvpaving this street anddeclared in his opinion that no frlde, street oft ; Trade and.;.Tryon was-so muchused.-1 t ; ,n ' Not bidfe 'street," said - Mr W: J. Chambers,- --"We "got "into", trouble oQce' bt fore' by calling a certain' str est vside' street. Call it a cross street. ; "':Mr. "Dowd . grace-!.' bowed .recog nition of-vhis high stroke of diplomat ic !, maneuvering . and - proceeded : with his argument Upon further question ing if was brought out . that ' West Fourth ; is, a"; permanent improvement district, so ordered hy i the -aldermen, but -it was Col, W. W. Phifer, guard ian of . the) treasury who injected 'a word ;of , 'doubt as to whence would come the -money. Mr. Dowd urged .the board to-do what it jpould, agreeing to pay his part at any time. He was promised such attention' as the board has it in its, power to giveT'-'. The need of this wort . is at. present paramount and the city - it is admitted, 'should make some extraordinary effort to fix this street while the;, paving work is in . progress because or its importance asv perhaps the principal - cross street in the 'city . and much ' used. X ' " Chief Christenbury reported'as to 'a request that.-youngT, messenger, .boys be not sent into the re.d light district by night' with- messages, -'-that -Manager. Gaffney had already promised to turn.' such- -messages over to f men, while the Western Union has the mat ter under advisement. ' , . ;, ' The purchase of street cleaning ap paratus was presented by " Mr. T. T. Allison, who - wanted ' some adequate machinery, put in for the work. It was held that the board of aldermen should pay-for 'this machinery - and consequently that a special appropria tion ought to be s made, v Mr. Allison recommended three "machines, which Bweep and gather up' thedlrt simul taneously and ' knowttv in , municipal circles as 'tsqueegee.' . The sum of $5,500 is wanted for this"" machinery each-machine taking care of 24 city blocks during the period It is at work. , It was '-developed that ; the More head . street,-bridge ; Is - still up in the air - and while ehe city and electric railway appear " ready, the Southern Railway is Inclined to hold off for a different type of bridge, namely the girder type, while the city had planned for an arch and 'concrete structure.
