It is remarkable with what little consideration teamsters will fre- quently leave the road where it is bare and take to boulevards that have cost the owners of property whose place they front scores of dollars to put in shape and keep even for lawn mowers. Their action is unlawful as the statutes provide that no vehicle shall be driven on a boulevards unless it is found that •there is no other means or possibi- lity of gettnig by.
