FOR TRAFFIC ORDINANCE
Retailers Plan Movement to
Lessen Dangers Of
Street Travel


FROM suggestion made al a
meeting Of the Guthrie Retailers as
sociation last night there Is likely TO
grow a movement for real traffic
ordinance in Guthrie. The rotalels
adopted "A resolution that request
be made 10 the city council for an or
dinance requiring all vehicles TO APP
proach the curbs from the right
This suggestion opens up a big
subject. Cities over the United
,tates are forced TO adopt traffic or.
dinances sooner or later. This is a
propitiOus time in Guthrie. The au-
tomobile boom is on the rise and
within year over hundred will
be running on the streets regularly
Meanwhile there will be a natural
increase OF delivery wagons. and 9th
er vehicles Under the present sys-
TEN these automobiles and delivery
wagons are turned at all sorts OF
speed al any old angle around any
corner. The result some of these
days is going to be few runaways,
wrecks and deaths
NIsnleFeemeht OF 4 traffic ordinance
is easy If the law Is started right.
In cities where tho traffic Is cnforc-
ed a few police lessons only are
reeded
A traffic ordinance in modern
city USUALLY prescribes that all We
hicles shall keep To the right. Il
there Is occasion TO stop on The
street the vehicle must be stopped
close TO the curb. headed right. THAT
Is about all there is TO ~. Full turns
should be made At corners and where
a change Of direction Is made The
center of the intersection should be
cleared. These simple regulations
prevent accidents and give city o
real cltlfied appearance.
