DOEOGIIOST DRKJGS TERROR TO COUNCILM

Dd you remember It? That "dimmer" ordinance? Well, Just about the time council

bad. tired itself out on the milk question what did Joe Walterman of the First ward up and do but grab tbe old trouble maker by tbe nap of Its neck, drag it into tbe meeting and start another talkfest. ' "The police are entirely neglecting the enforcement of tbe dimmer ordi

nance," Walterman began, and all of

his fellow lawmakers began to shiver when be mentioned the word "dimmer." , -tight Blinds Eye, "Last night I tried to ride my wheel down Slain street, but the glare of the automobile lights was so blinding I decided the safest thing for me to do was to walk. Now, in my opinion, the police certainly should , have enough sense to know when a light is dim or is glaring, but if the police can't make such a distinction it is time for some one that can to take them out and give 'em a few lessons." Recalling the fact that several weeks ago, after twenty-eight arrests had been made for alleged violations of the ordinance, and each case had been appealed, a committee of councilmen and automobile owners had been appointed to prepare a more satisfactory ordinance. Walterman declared that he had time and again tried to get this committee together to take some action but without success. "They always bad some kind of. an excuse to make," he said. Favors Ordinance. ' have been told recently that our crdinance as it now stands compares favorably with 'dimmer' ordinances in many other cities, in cities where such trdinances are enforced to the letter." . Councilman HowelU suggested that the automobiliBts were trying to sidestep having the present ordinance enforced tad t the tame time trying to prevent any alternations of it In compliance with the demands they themselves had made. "I favor having the ordinance committee bringing In a report that the present ordinance is good enough to be let alone," he said. 'Tli night you were afraid to ride your bike on Main street do you suppose twenty-eight arrests could have been made for violations of the ordinance?" some one asked Walterman. f'A hundred arrests could have been made .and the police would not have

had to to out to the cemetery to get 'em" he replied. , "Walt until the parking ordinance goes into effect", remarked irrepressible Johnny White, of the Second- ward. "Then the mayor will have to call out the militia to enforce it." Expert Advice. ' Thinking it was about time, that seme expert advice waa injected into the debate the only two members of council who own machines, Steinbrink and Weishaqpt, got busy . Weishaupt said that he thought, machines should be permitted to operate on side streets with lights t full glare- He said he nearly ran over a child tbe other night in the .south end because his , auto

lights were dimmed- Steinbrink, dis

agreed. He thought the present ordi

nance should be vigorously enforced, remarking that anyone who dimmed

bis lights properly could see to operate his car if he was not driving it in

exeesa of the speed limit, and be look

ed right at Weishaupt when he said

that. - .,-

That was as far as the revival of

interest in the dimmer question got to.
