Traffic Regulations

The problem of traffic regulation in Rich
mond has been vexing one. The city council
has wrestled with the situation for many months.
but none of the ordinances has met with general
favor. The results expected from these laws
have failed to materialize. The ordinance COM
mittee has the problem under discussion now.
The American City in recent issue has
opened department of Public Safety, and the
Safety First Federation of America has present
ed an article that proposes standard code of
traffic regulation prepared by its Street Traffic
Committee. The ordinance committee might do
we'll to study the points covered in the proposed
regulations The article follows:
For safety in street traffic there are three es-
sential requirements: C) the adoption of proper
and uniform regulations; (2) the education Of
the public as we'll as the drivers and operators of
all vehicles to the necessity of conforming there
to; and 81 the proper enforcement of such reg
ulations by the local authorities.
To cooperate with municipal officials in
meeting the first of these requirements, the
Safety First Federation of America has issued a
Proposed Standard Code Of Traffic Regulations
for General Adoption by Municipalities" The
compilation of this code is the result Of more than
year of study by the Federaton's Street Traffic
Committee composed of state and city officials
and representatives of automobile clubs, trans
portation and street railway companies. In it's
work the Committee had the hearty cooperation
of the authorities having under their jurisdiction
the regulation of street traffic in sxtyfve cities
in the United States and Canada.
Among the important features of the Stand
ard Code are the following:
Prohibiting the use of the muffler cut-out
Prohibiting the unnecessary use of warning
signals.
Providing that all vehicles shall carry lights
from one hour after sunset to one hour before
sunrise.
Approval of the near-side stop regulation for
street cars.
Providing car stop safety zones for persons
getting on or off street cars
Providing for protecting the car stop safety
zones from encroachment by vehicles, either
moving or standing.
Requiring that all vehicles must come to full
stop at least five feet behind street car when
stopping, or which has stopped to receive or dis
charge passengers.
Requiring pedestrians to cross the street at
the regular crossing, to cross with the traffic and
comply with the signals Of traffic officers.
Requiring the locking of unattended motor
vehicles to prevent their removal by unauthoriz-
ed persons.
Requiring properly Illuminated license tags
on automobiles, and favoring the adoption by
automobile manufacturers of uniform trans
parently Illuminated license tag holder.
Requiring in the event of an accident that the
driver must stop and render all possible assist
ance to persons injured, giving name and address

COUNTY IS SECOND
ALONE TO MARION
IN CARS OWNED HERE

Although well up in population and
size, Wayne county ranks as one OF
the poorest in the state, falling far
below her smaller neighbors, accord
ing to statistical maps in a road
bulletin issued by Purdue university.
In the comparison, Wayne county is
in the lowest class, that of counties
with valuations of $15,000,000 or less.
Wayne county stands fairly well In
road bonds outstanding, ranking in
the class from 100000 to '$500,00O.
The county ranks next to Marion
county, Indianapolis, in the number Of
automobiles, 1,500 to 1000, and Is IN
the third class in distribution of

PEOPLE WILL MARRY
DESPITE HIGH COST

In his race with High Cost of Living
during November. Dan Cupid put forth
all his efforts on the home stretch and
won out two points in the lead.
During November. 1916, County
Clerk Kelly issued thirty-six marriage
licenses but during the same month
this year he issued thirty-eight. The
thirteen licenses which were issued
two days before Thanksgiving saved
the day. ..-.
Despite the fact that 1t now costs a
newly married couple almost twice as
much to start housekeeping and to live
as 1t did year ago, there will no
doubt be more marriage licenses
issued to Wayne county people this
year than last.
At present, the marriage license
records at the clerks office show that
357 licenses have been issued. The
month OF December Is good one for
marriages.
During the twelve months Of 1915,
marriage licenses were issued to 372
couples. The present difference is Is
and Cupid has 80 more running days
in 1916.
