Warm contests are expected in this city Fr‘day evening January € when the Kendallvitle high school boys and girls basketball teams play the Ligomnier high school boys and girls.

During the next four weeks there will be four games staged here when Waterloo comes Janaury 13, Auburn the 20th, Goshen the 27th, and Wolf Lake Feb. 3d. February 10 Liganier plays at Topeka, the 17th at Angola while the season will close here with Warsaw February 24th. -

LIGONIER. NOBLE COUNTY, INDIANA., THURSDAY JANUARY 5, 1922 °

AUTO DRIVERS MUST OBEY LAW

MARSHAL ENGLE ISSUES EDICT TO MOTOR DRIVERS WHO VISIT : THIS CITY

No More Speeding Nor Open Exhausts And Lights Must Meet Requirements :

While Marshal Engle does not care to.appear unduely officious he expects to see that the laws he is sworn to uphold respected. : -

“It should be an easy matter to enforce 'some provisions of the automobile law which are commonly violated,” said the marshal today. “Carelessness is responsible and I desire to -call attention to some provisions of the statutes which every one except the offender will readily agree should be enforced. ;

“First there is driving at an unlawful rate over the streets of the city, commonly called speeding. “Life is endangered every time a wg’eckless driver dashes through the streets and I propose to arrest these violators of the law and see that thiey are properly punished. :

I propose to enforce the. ordinance which provides against driving cars with the muffler or exhaust open. This is perhaps the most common offense in. Ligonier and while no life or limbs are threatened as in the case of speeding, the noise is a great nuisance and is wholly unnecessary. ‘‘ln the next place 'auto vehicles must be equipped with proper lights. There is real danger in operating cars when not properly lighted. The legislature recognized this dange: when the light.laws were passed and all reasonable-minded drivers will admit that they not only endanger their cars as weH as their own lives and the lives of others when the law is violated. i

~ “Some drivers are careful about the front lights on their car, but careless about the tail or rear light. : '““All -these features are covered by statutes and city\grdinances and they must be observed. . 2

~“I am assuming no arbitrary position in these matters but simply following myy duty as an officer, and I shall exercise my West judgment in relation to them. 5

“It ds but fair that due warning be given, althrough the laws are familiar to all, and special warning should not be necessary.” Marshal Engle assumed his duties as Marshal of Ligonier last Monday

Brace of Accidents. Harry Gilbert is confined to his home the result of a bad injury to his right leg suffered Wednesday afternoon at the factory of Ligonier Auto Body company when a machine body slipped from a truck while in~the act of loading it into a car for shipment and fell.

PLAN OF STATE HIGHWAY. COMMISSION NOT VERY FAVORABLE TO NOBLE COUNTY May Establish Rival of Blazed Trail Between Angola and Goshen On the North :

- Director Lawrence Lyons of the stat highway commission is ¢onsidering taking into the state system seven additional roads. Two are in Northern Indiana the highway from Auburn to Fort Wayne known as the ' Sturgis woad and one between ‘Angola and Goshen, a rival of the Blazed trail. It is set out by friends of the latter named project that the new highway will shorten the distance between Toledo and Goshen 27 miles, which seems. incredible when it is considered that the Blazed Trail or Toledo-Chicago pike paralls the air line division of the N. Y. C. railway. The aim is to help Angola and jLaGrange by diverting traffic from Kendallvile and Ligonier. ;| The scheme Jwill hardly succeed when it 'is considered that the Blazed Trail between Butler and Goshen has more than 20 miles of pavement and the other highway has‘ none. -

. The next effort on the part of Noble county should be to urge upon -the ‘commission the importance of paving ‘the Lincoln Highway between Kim‘mell and Fort Wayne and the Blazed "Trail from the brick pavement three miles east of Ligonier to Kendallville yia way of thé southern route. The other five roads to be added to the state system of highways are all in the central and southern part of the state except the road between ‘Marion and Wabash. : !
