WHISTLE SYSTEM
PROVES SUCCESS
Traffic Cops Say Deaf and
Near Sighted Cannot Fail
to Get Signals.

Motorists of the city are showing
aptitude in learning the new system of
regulating traffic ny whistles in she
business district. according to officers
on daylight shifts who tried out The
system Saturday and who found that it
suited all requirements of directing
traffic Many are OF the opinion that
that whistle viii in time supDIant The
semaphore which Will no longer be
needed. The use of the whistles is at
present employed in many cities OF the
east.
For Deaf and Near-Sighted-
IF a deaf man cannot hear the
whistle. he can see the SemaphOre,
while if a near-sighted man cannot see
the semaphore he can hear the whistle"
was the answer of one of the officers
in expressing his opinion of the new
system. Police chief B. J. Zabriskie
and traffic sergeant H c. Snider also
declared that as far as they could
ascertain, drivers OF all kinds Of
vehicles were well pleased with the
whistle signals and that many COM
ments had been made at the police
station on the successful manner in
which traffic was conducted by the
combination of semaphore and whistle.
Worked Fine.

tions to speak Of The cars stopped on
the whistle in line with the semaphore
and I believe that it is only a matter
of time until they become familiar with
the blasts of the whistle and they viii

Worked Fine.

over SIX months and I did not have any
difficulty in handling traffic with the
semaphore- With the whistle il should
be even more effective. and in time ]
think that the whistle viii supplant the
semaphOre as the people VIII become
accustomed TO the blasts as they have
in all of the larger cities and the sign
will not be necessary.
Officer r Z Bridges said The
semaphore can he seen and the whistle
heard so what more does anyone want.

whistle while a motorist who cannot
