TRAFFIC OFFICER IS
 GREATEST NEED IN
 DISTRICT AT PRESENT
New Council, Which Will
 Meet June 6, Will Be Ask
 ed to Provide for Every Ne cessary Man on the Streets.

That a great deal of pressure will be brought to bear on the incoming city council to provide for a traffic officer is apparent from the converse. ton heard in every quarter. The first meeting of the new council takes place on June 6, the first Tuesday in the month.
 Not only are the demands for a traffic officer being made by the ped estrians but the rent service people are also anxious rS see an officer who will see that all drivers of motor vehicles obey the laws.
 It has been pointed out that the flor rent" service cars now pay into the city treasury a matter of $500 every quarter. equal to 300 per month. far more than enough to provide for the salary of an officer. The for hire drivers are open in their declaration that their business should be pro tected.
 One of the drivers in the service stated yesterday that it would improve their conditions materially in several ways
 The for rent drivers are blamed by a great many people for the majority of fast driving he said This is un- just in the main. There are a few service drivers who are careless but in the majority of cases they are the most careful on the streets. They have to protect their cars and do not take a great many unnecessary chances. We need a traffic officer and
 hope the new council will spend some of the income we pay into the city treasury along that line"
 City Marshal James Allison, in speaking of the question. was un- qualified in his statement that traf- fife officer was absolutely essential.
 ''If there is a need in the city of Bishee it is for the proper and thor ough regulation Sf traffic on our streets. The rent service provides sufficient money to enable the city tG put such an officer on it's payroll.
 We catch a number of speeders now but an officer whose duty would be to attend to this work alone could more than earn any salary paid him by the decided improvement in traffic conditions. One of the great troubles is due to the fact that the average driver doesn't know what the traffic rules are. I hope the new council will see fit to allow my department such a man."
 The experiments at the Plaza cor ner and the Dispensary corner. in put ting in wooden center posts, to regul- ate traffic, have been so successful that yesterday they were supplanted with steel posts. placed under the bricks The traffic posts have slowed down the traffic at Both places and has reduced the danger to pedestrians and the traffic itself.
