DREAD OF SPEEDERS 
MANCHESTER’S MotTorcycié Porice- 
MAN Makes RECKLESS DRIVERS 
BEHAVE. 
The first commandment in the de- 
calogue of . Motor-Officer Byron A. 
Bullock of the Manchester police is, 
“Thou shalt not speed.” And the 
only person who need not heed the in- 
Byron A. BuLLOcK 
Manchester's Motorcycle Officer 
junction is the efficient officer him- 
self, who has the privilege of burn- 
ing up miles at any unbelievable rate 
of speed his motorcycle will travel. 
Manchester, like every other town, 
has been troubled in the past by reck- 
less drivers of motor vehicles. Its 
fine roads have proved a great temp- 
tation for the speeders and the prob- 
lem of eliminating the dangerous 
practice kept the hands of the police 
full. This year it was decided to 
purchase a motorcycle for the use of 
the department and its value to the 
force has been amply demonstrated. 
In addition to Ree the speeding 
to the minimum and thus preventing 
serious auto accidents the acquisition 
of the motorcycle has made it possi- 
ble for the day officer to cover as 
much territory as all of the depart- 
ment covers at night. It has demon- 
strated its value in responding to 
hurry calls. The accompanying pic- 
ture of Officer Bullock was snapped 
at West Manchester the day of. the 
big parade of the Essex County asso- 
ciation of G. A. R. on Saturday, 
Sept. 16, as he was clearing the way 
for the veterans.
