of the problems of the South Omaha police
department It Is probably true that the
machlnea which ply between Omaha and
South Omaha make faster time on tha
average than on any of tha streets short of
the country roads, where the top Botch Is
reached.
Some of the cars flit down Twenty-fourth
street so fast that the number cannot b
read on a passing car. The notice ar
seriously discussing a means of checking
thee cars effectually. Most of the driver
care little for the flourish of a policeman'
club, but go by and ride home by another
treet If they have been hailed.
Tt Is proposed to stretch a good strong
wire before speeding cars, but uch a
device Is too slow to be worked. Of 1st
It Is suggested that a long Inch board be
studded with sharpened nails and that tha
officer be Instructed to cast this in the
street before a speeding machine and com
pel a halt or great loss and trouble will
follow a a penalty. Such a device I
thought most practical and It Is said to
have been used with good effect In New
York and other eastern cities.
