Cut-Outs Open; Two Were Fined $5 Each For Example.

Mayor Spitler is determined that the practice of leaving automobiles and motorcycle “cut-outs” open shall be stopped and has decided to abandon the plan of posting notices appealing to all to respect the law and to hereafter make arrests and impose fines. Jim Rhoades was the first to be arrested, Marshal Robinson having placed him under arrest Tuesday evening. Wednesday morning Shelby Comer was arrested. Each was fined $5 and costs, amounting to sls, and each paid. Paul Worland was also arrested but showed that the car he was driving was disabled and he was released. The city ordinances regulating auto traffic ‘and the state laws are all to be impartially enforced and Mayor Spitler has ordered his police officers to exercise great vigilance along this line. -
