Several Plans Suggested For
Furnishing Greater Safe
Guards for Human Life
RELIEVING CONGESTION
ON WOODWARD PROPOSED
Scheme Is to Divert Much of the
Traffic to Cass-ave. and
John R.-st.

Several suggestions In line with
the Safety First" movement were
made In meeting Of the mayors
cabinet ofhcers, Thursday afternoon.
Police Commissioner Gillespie
urged d. p. w. Commissioner Fenkell
to repave as soon as possible por-
tons Of John R.-st. and streets con-
meeting John R. and Cass-ave., with
Woodward, the commissioners plan
being to make Cass and John r. north
and south thoroughfares, diverting
much of the trafYic from Woodward
ave. and thus making II safer for ped
estrians and autoists.
Commissioner Fenkeil urged the
lighting OF dark alleys in the down
town district. The police commits
sioner heartily supported this sugges-
ton, but Commissioner Lewis. of the
public lighting board. said that at
the present time. many streets are
not sufficiently taken care OF. An at
tempt will probably be made to Sc
cure the necessary appropriation for
carrying out Commissioners Eenkelps 3
plan next year.
Mayor Marx discussed the Safety
First" movement, launched by the
state railroad commission In & meet
Ing In the Board Of Commerce build
ing, Thursday morning.
Detroit wants to lead this move
ment," said the mayor.
He suggested that some precaution
be taken at once to protect school
children playing in the streets on
which there are car tracks. All the
commissioners present pledged their
support to the movement. Commits
sioner Gillespie thought 1t would be
good idea to post warnings at all
street car crossings, informing mo-
torists OF the direction In which the
cars are bound.
Controller Engel urged every de-
partment head to study the new city
charter and see II there are any un-
desirable features relating to their
department. He declared each de-
partment head ought to be able TO In
form the public through the press on
all charter provisions relating to his
particular department.
The controller also revived his pre-
decessor's plan to make up the an.
nual $9OO.0O0 deficiency In the school
teachers fund. This amount has to
be advanced by the city every spring
because the moneys from the state
are not available until August. 1t was
suggested that the council appropri'
ate a fixed amount every year to grad
ually reduce the size OF the school
board loan.
