<br />The present-section reads as follows:
<br />
<br />m~de,
<br />it will be impossible to enforce the ordinance,
<br />so now. This condition has been brought about
<br />traffic.#
<br />
<br /> 'No street cars shall be moved at a greater rate of speed'than one mile in ten
<br /> minutes over any street crossing, or one mile in four minutes on any street
<br /> _east of ?th Avenue or the line of ?th Avenue if extended through North and South.'
<br /> in my opinion, it is perfectly reasonable and proper that this change should be
<br />particularly so· now, since in a short while our traffic lights will be turned on and
<br /> In fact, it is practically impossible to do
<br /> in recent years by the great increase in
<br />
<br />of' v~,~,~ neAammng ~ ~ne Speed of Street Oars.
