ner of Washington avenue and Bay
field street is becoming more appar-
ent as the number of automobiles in
the city increases. That a serious
accident has been averted this long
seems almost a miracle for this isi the
busiest corner in town and the dan
ger of vehicles passing at this point
is most dangerous.
With sign posts established at this
corner the drivers of automobiles and
also drivers of wagons can be made, to
observe the driving rules, those 60
ing west keeping to the right and
those coming east keeping to the
right. ~ III
Automobile drivers are inclined to
observe the rules at the present time
but drivers of wagons sometimes cut
the corner sharp coming from the
west end of the city and thus cause
those coming from the opposite
direction to keep to the wrong side
of the road.
Sign posts should be established
on BAYFIELD, street about $50 feet in
each direction from the corner and
then the driving rules should be en-
forced. Delay in putting up these
posts is only inviting accident, which
we will all be sorry enough about
should one occur.
