with automobile accidents increasing
daily in the larger cities of the country,

In an effort TO solve the traffic problem
1t seems TO me that the time has come
for the motorist TO take up the burden"
says NJ. A. Baylis, OF the Record Auto
Company, agents for the Saxon.
Although practically every record
kept by a police department shows the
pedestrian responsible in nine out OF ten
automobile accidents, We must recognize
the fact that the general public is in
clined to blame the toll OF deaths and in
juries on the driver of the car
Bearing this in mind, ! believe that IT
rests almost entirely with motor-car own
ers whether future accidents are TO in

doubtedly a portion of the blame resting

The intoxicated Joy rider and others
Of his ilk. who frequent city streets dur
ing the late hours OF the night. are a
menace to society. To this class, speed
laws means nothing. Heavy fines and
imprisonment are about the only RENE
dies that can be meted out TO the joy
riding fraternity. Unfortunately, how
ever. only small portion of the big to-
tal OF accidents IN the last year can be
laid at the door Of the joy-rider. Every
day the papers contain reports of col
lisions on the open road and more espe-
cially in traffic.
TT Is in traffic driving that the mo-
torist has the greatest opportunity to re-
duce the number of accidents. Reports
prepared by the New York police de-
partment show that from January TO
July last year. the majority of accidents
occurred from II a m. to u noon and
from TO p. m, or during the So
called rush hours The same report car
ries the information that 30 per cent Of
the accidents were due to careIessness
or other fault of the injured pedestrians.
But II we are to be really conscien-
tious about the matter, we must sd-
nit that just because the unfortunate
man on foot is to blame, the motorist
should not feel entirely absolved in the
case. little forethought on the part
of the driver. slower speed in traffic,
and less anxiety to beat the traffic police

way of cutting down accidents.

The following letters and tele-
grams passed between City Engineer
Thorgeson of Morgan City and the
j. w. Thompson Company and others
makes clear to citizens why the work
of street construction laid out for
the Railroad Avenue extension has
not been carried out. The car short
age is seriously affecting all lines of
business and this section of the
South is probably as heavy loser
as result Of this shortage as any sec
ton Of the United States. While the
car shortage betokens general
prosperity and heavy movement Of
goods it also means that the prosper
ity is curtailed thru the shortage
and inability of concerns to make
deliveries.
The Mayor and council have done
everything in their power to get the
needed street material here but they
cannot control the car shortage. A
part Of the purchased gravel has
been received but not enough to
start work with as it would be use
less to accumulate men and teams
and machinery for few days work.
The following correspondence is
an indication that City Engineer
Thorgeson is doing his utmost to
remedy conditions:
