But henceforth on city streets, police warn, there'll be more than excuses needed by motorists who insist on exceeding the 20 mile per hour speed limit on unpaved thoroughfares'.
The city has received so many complaints of thoughtless motorists leaving pedestrians in the proverbial cloud of dust, police have been requested to effect a roundup of the offenders.
It can be costly too. Minimum fine is $50 and the maximum $300.

Mr. Stables said that there were "many difficulties involved" in setting up summer classes.
At tho same time Mr. Stables expressed his satisfaction over the marks achieved hy the high school students in 'their pre-Easter exams.
"Tho students did very well at Easter," ho said, "hut all t.he. marks aren't tabulated as yel."
