Mail Tribune 100, June 22, 1915 The following news items were drawn from the archives of the Mail Tribune 100 years ago. Comment MailTribune.com Writer Posted Jun. 22, 2015 at 12:01 AM Posted Jun. 22, 2015 at 12:01 AM » Social News June 22, 1915 MOTOR CYCLE COP TO CURB SPEEDERS The county court is considering the advisability of putting on a motorcycle cop to curb speeders and joy-riders on the Pacific highway, the reckless driving undergoing no restriction as the result of the tragic event last Friday morning when a life was snuffed out and two others seriously injured. Fred Dodge of Ashland reported to the authorities that last Saturday afternoon a big car passed at a high rate of speed, just grazing his. He was unable to get the number. After the sun goes down is when the reckless driving reaches its height, and owners of horses have complained that they have no rights, being forced to take to the sides or be run over. UNDRESSED STONE DELAYS WORK ON NEW POST OFFICE Construction work upon the new federal building at Sixth and Holly streets is over three weeks behind owing to faulty brick and stone shipments. Last week a consignment of stone to be used in the building was received from Auburn, Wash., and it has since been discovered that the workmen in the quarry forgot to polish or cut the material down to proper size. The stone failed to pass the government inspector, and it will be necessary for the stone to be brought to specification here, and a force of stone cutters will be put to work this week, remedying the error. Delays have been frequent this spring on the building, the difficulty being the receipt of brick that failed to be of the proper color. Next the steel beams showed streaks of faultiness. Part of the interior steel work has been put in shape, but work on this department is hampered by the inability of finishing more than the basement. It is expected that the brick and stone work will be completed by Aug. 15, when the carpenters and plumbers will begin. The contract calls for the completion of the building ready for occupancy by May 1, 1916.
