Hearing To Decide
Board's Action on
Bicycle Orinance
Opposition May Center
On Proposed Penalties
For Thiird Offenders
Whether or not Preeport will
adopt an amended bicycle ordinance
—calling for safety regulations, li­censing
of riders and their wheels,
and "an educntional program in the
schoob with tests by police prior to
the l.ssuance of Iicpn.se.'5---depend8
upon a public hearing in the Mu­nicipal
Building next Monday night,
October 15. at 8:30 o'clock.
Opposition to the proposal may
arise over penaltie.<5 for third-of­fenders
who are under 16, It wa.l
thL5 question which led the village
Board to withdraw its origtail
propo.'iitlon after hearings last April
and May, when local P.-T. A, wo­men
and civic association members
objected to having youthful third-offenders
taken into Children's
Court.

provisions is a plan to seize

Mystery Car to Catch
Drivers Who Break Law
Better drive carefully
Mr. and Mrs. Preeport—
that unmarked auto you
see may be a police car!
The village police will
soon put on tfie road a
specially built, high-pow­ered
auto that won't take
nonsense from speeders
or any other law violators.
If anyone steps on the
gas to run away, this auto
can easily catch up to the
speediest car.
Chief "Peter Elar ex-explatnfd
that his men
will'use the new vehicle
without "Police" mark­ings
In order to^ appre­hend
the kind of drivers
who "cause accidents. This
b another phase of the lo­cal
highway safety cam­paign.
