Ferdinand of Bulgaria when his forces were

France for intervention and was met by guarded
statement, the purport of which was that the SIX

taniSlauS Starts Right

At the request of the county board of trade,
the Stanislaus supervisors have agreed to
appoint commission to prepare plans and cost
estimates for a comprehensive county system OF
good roads. #@~
The appointment OF the commission is but a
preliminary step to the submission of proposition
for s., 100000 good roads bond issue.
The supervisors could adopt no better method
of nsuring popular approval OF scheme which will
return handsome profit to the county.
1t is no longer necessary to spend time or
money convincing such progressive people as those
of Stanislaus county that good roads a good
investment.
Popular appreciation OF the value of good roads
was convincingly shown by the vote in approval
of the state road bond issue of S18OO0OOO fathered
by former Governor Gett
1t is necessary, however, to show the people how
and where their money is going to be spent. The
people have right to know and the experiences of
the state highway commission have convinced
them that it behooves them to know before they
authorize big bonded debts
From a commission composed Of their own
neghbors the people of Stanislaus county will get
comprehensive system plan, reinforced with prac-
teal estimates
Discussion of that plan may result in desirable
changes before the scheme is formally submitted
for popular approval at the polls
Whether not such changes are desired or
made, the people will know what they are voting
about when they go to the polls They will know
definitely where their money is to be spent and
approximately what they are going to get Tor it.
The wisdom of the Stanislaus plan undoubt edlv
will be proved by an enthusiastic and overwhelm
ing vote when the question of the necessary bonded

commissions report nor its observations of general
careessness in the operation of electric roads adds
much to the public's store of information.
But the cominissions report does include a
promise Of better and strcter regulation, and en-
forced departure from the general policy Of operat-
ing electric nterurban roads as if they urban
streetcar lines
The commission declares that most of the cleo
trio lines in this state should be operated on a
block system and that it has taken steps looking
to the installation of block signals those roads
The commission engineer has been instructed
to make the necessary investigation and to formu-
late report upon which mandatory order may
be issued
The commission anticipates the expense argu-
ment against the installation Of proper safety de
vices by declaring that if increased rates are
necessary to meet the expense of installation and
operation the roads will be permitted to charge
such increased rates
1t is to be regretted that the sacrifice of thirteen
lives was necessary to impress upon the California
public and its officers that majority of the electric
railroads in this state operated without regard
to the safety regulations enforced steam roads.
There is no good reason why the electric roads
should not be subjected to every rule for the pro-
lection of the public imposed on the steam roads.
Indeed, the character of the service rendered
by the electric roads and the physical conditions
under which they operated seem to call for
extraordinary safety regulations.
The installation of the block signal system will
be long step in the right direction. Meanwhile
every crossing and signal regulation enforced on
the steam roads should be rigidly enforced on the
electric roads.
And violations of operating rules, such as re-
suited in the Napa valley wreck, will become the
exception rather than the rule if they followed
by indictment and punishment of the men respon-
sible for them.
