After fining William Hardwick of Stamford $10 and costs for speeding, when he was arraigned in Borough Court Saturday morning, Judge Mead threatened to impose jail sentences upon offenders who came before him on similar charges in the future.

The practice of speeding on the Post road in Greenwich is becoming too common, in the opinion of the court, and nothing will be left undone to insure the safety of the public.
Hardwick was arrested last week by State Officer McMurty while burning up the Post Road near Cos Cob.
Editorial
Judge Mead, of the Borough Court, threatens to impose jail sentences on speed maniacs. This will be good news to the careful driving public. There are altogether too many accidents on the Post Road. A fine of $10 or $25 does not seem to deter those who delight in burning up the highways. A few six month sentences behind prison bars might cause others to travel at a moderate rate. Some drivers seem to think that they own the highways, and that those who obey traffic regulations have no business on the public thoroughfares. Judge Mead would be safeguarding the public by imposing jail sentences on those who are brought before him on charges of speeding.  |
