AFTER AUTO SCORCHERS.
Chief of Police Ahern Issues Orders
to His Command.
Another step was taken by the police yesterday to check scorching autoists. After a consultation with W. H. Harrison, license inspector, Chief Ahern issued a special order calling attention to the fact that many automobiles are running the streets with no license number displayed. The police were ordered to arrest every owner found driving a machine without a numbered tag that can be read plainly at least fifty yards distant.
"I don't intend that any automobile shall run citizens down hereafter and escape because it has no number by which it may be readily identified. If this ordinance is strictly complied with someone should be able to see the number and report it -- even if the police are not there," said the chief after issuing the order.
