Two miles of the celebrated Merrick rond, once the sfavorite thoroughfare of Long Island bicyclists but now ‘an automobile speedway, are within the corporate limits of Freeport. Through Freeport as through other villages along the road automobiles have sped on regardless, Jeaving a cloud of dust, a smell, and sometimes a man- “\gled pedestrian as reminders of their visit. Other meth- ods of restraint failing, Mistrict-Attorney Niemann de-| ; vised a signal system with flagmen and time-keepers to s~fetect violations of the village speed ordinance and re- strain the violators, His block system has now been in “operation for two weeks and within that period of time the signal men have held up fifteen automobiles and haled the offending chauffeurs into court. Yesterday “Miss Lillian Russell and a party of three were among _ those arrested. Niemann’s is by long odds the best existing provision for checking the speed of the scorching chauffeur.
