| "The police of Fort Thomas are to be commended in their effort to stop speeding on the streets of Fort Thomas. Three children have lost their lives in the last 18 months. One child has been severely injured - this child happened to be the child of one of the policemen. The speed limit in the city proper is 15 miles in the congested district and 20 miles on all streets in the city. This safety measure is being rigidly enforced. Signs have been placed in the city limits warning the people of the speed law." from Motour, June, 1930. |
