NEW TRAFFIC REGULATIONS.

NEW TRAFFIC REGULATIONS.
The city authorities are preparing
for a vigorous enforcement Of the
trafic ordinance, and vehicles will
have to meet the regulations imposed
for the use Of the streets or the
drivers will find themselves hailed in
to court. At the late meeting Of the
council the more rigid enforcement
OF the law was recommended, and a
number OF new regulations will be
imposed. The city attorney was in
structed to prepare amendments to
the present ordinance providing that
vehicles can turn only at street inter-
sections. Under the present ordin-
ance an auto or horse-drawn We
hicle can turn at any point in the
street. Another new regulation will
require autos to leave at least ten
feet in the clear at any fire hydrant
within the city when they are left
standing.
With the increased use OF fast
moving vehicles the need for obser-
vance OF traffic regulations becomet
more imperative. or late there has
been a great deal of carelessness in
following the law requiring machines
to keep to the right side of the street
in travelling, and a good many drivers
have formed the habit OF leaving their
engines running while they left the
machine for few minutes. The warn
ing has now been given. The next
chapter is likely to be before the
police court.
