A firm purpose on the part of the su
thorities to enforce to the last letter the
traffic ordinance finds its expression now
in the stationing of a traffic policeman
at the junction of Washington, North
Main and Elm streets. When Keep
TO the Right" signs were located at con-
spicuous points near the junction, it was
thought that automobiles as well as
tea msters would need no further urging
but a careful surveillance of the spot by
some of the authorities convince them
that something to supplement the warn.
ing of the signs would be necessary be-
fore the best results are obtained. Con-
seauently an officer in blue has been as
signed to duty at the corner and persons
who persist in disregarding the signs
will probably have an opportunity to
explain their course later.
Last night the brotherhood of the
Hedding NJ. f. heurch came together in

ally plans for the coming winter. Off
