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. Elaht Aaatrlaas Held.
