TRAFFIC REGULATION.

Editor Honolulu Star Bulletin:
Sir: In the morning paper is an
item which states that the deputy
county attorney is perfecting amend
ments to the proposed traffic ordin-
ance concerning pedestrians, one be-
ing an amendment requiring pedestri-
ans to cross the streets only at in
tersectIons, crossing the stre cts at
any other place being at your own
risk" Another stating that pedestri-
ans shall not stand on the streets un-
less waiting for an approaching street
car, and then not farther than six
feet from the car track" The latter
amendment seems unnecessary, and
the former ridiculous. Why should
not a person be permitted to cross
the street using his own judgment. as
to whether or not 1t is a safe place?
ners Than at intersections, where
autos are permitted to round the cor
ners ION the runT As, to persons
standing on the streets unless wait
ing to get on a street car, the public
has more sense. 4 A law prohibiting it
is unnecessary. Is there not a fine
for all violations Of the law? ), 1t
seems to me that too much law is
again to be placed upon the statute
books, laws not to be enforced. The
only agitation was for an amendment
to the present law, requiring that
autos come to a stop and permit
school children and others to pass
safely from the street cars to the
sidewalk, to which they have the
right. AS a further amendment let
me suggest that street cars be re-
quired to stop at all downtown busy
crossings, for instance at Merchant
street, at Queen street, or all streets
within district to be named. While
the cars are entitled to the right of
way, yet on busy streets like these
mentioned, cars should come to a
full stop every trip. To require this
entails no hardship on the system, az
they generally do so, anyway. A sc.
rious accident occurred at the cross.
ing of Queen street short time ago,
a car running into crossing vehicle.

"sAFETY FIRST"

Editor Honolulu Star Bulletin.
Sir: The slowness with which the
Opera House was erhptied Tuesday
after the Mccormack concert again
emphasizes the necessity for more
exits from the balcony and gallery
The present arrangement by which
the crowds from the gallery and bal.
cony converge at the top of the stairs
and at the bottom again meet the peo-
PIE coming from the main floor could
hardly be worse. The possibilities in
the loss of human life and in serious
injuries If there should be a fire, or
even an alarm of fire. in a maddened
rush on the narrow stairs are too hor.
rible to contemplate. q Mainland the.
ater horrors ought to be warning to
Honolulu.
If a new opera house is not soon to
be forthcoming, a fairly simple and
effective remedy for the present con.
gestion would be outside stairs-not
merely fire escapes-leading off the
balcony on either side of the build
ing. While optside stairs would
not beautify the building. they
would be tolerated for the safety they
would bring. The proper authorities,
whether they be owner, lessor or po-
lice, should take immediate action to
prevent the possibility of great ca
taStrophe.
