SHREK OF AUTO
AND CYCLES NOW
UP TO OFFICIALS.
Complaint Among Those Who
Need Rest Is Widespread;
Police Must Be Firm
NOW UP TO THE CITY
Action by Municipal Officials
Looked For by Many Who
Are Annoyed

In the consideration of a traffic
ordinance now before the City Coun-
Gil it is the widespread opinion of
many citizens who realize the con-
ditions that some definite regulation
should be included to eliminate the
unnecessary racket of motorcycles
and automobiles in the use of the
cutout. There is general complaint.
especially among those whose rest
is important by reason Of their daily
employment. on account of the in
fernal noise making devices which
are employed by careless and indif-
ferent drivers of automobiles and
motorcycles.
1t is believed, however. that no
improvement will be noted until the
police department begins imposing
something more than fines upon the
offenders. A stiff provision in the
traffic ordinance effectively enforced
under the direction of Mayor Keister
would soon bring about a great
change for the better Citizens in
the vicinity of Front and Market

It appears that Mr.. Gown had

board did not recognize the necessity
of accommodating him to that extent.
Finally, the matter was taken, to

FEW ALIENS HAVE I
REGISTERED HERE

The number Of German citizens
who have registered, here in response
to the orders of the federal govern
ment, Is still rather small. according
to a statement made this afternoon by
j.. w. Lowe, chief registrar. 1t APP
pears that many American citizens of
German birth come to the registrar
for the purpose of finding out wheth-
er or not they have to be registered.
The status of these citizens is that
of any other American citizen. n
they are not required to register as
enemy aliens. The regulations apply
only to male German citizens above
the age of IA, but such men must reg
lister as failure to do so will lnvoiVe

General Secretary Of Ameri-
can Proportional Represen-
tation League is Coming.

c.. G. Hoag of Philadelphia. general
secretary of the American Proper
Honal Representation league, will de-
Iiversa public address at the city hall
Friday evening at s o'clock, N will
discuss the principles and methods of
fundamental electoral reform es-
pecfally in connection with proportion
al representation as applied to a mod
ernSand efficient form of government.
Concerning this subject Mr.. Hoag is
probably the best. informed man in
the. country today as he has devoted
himself to a study of popular repre-
sentation almost exclusively for a
number of years.
Mr.. Hoag has spoken on his sub
jects before many audiences in large
and small cities, and some of the
places where his theories found will
ingt&and spontaneous response, were.
for instance. Chicago, st. Louis.
Cleveland, Cincinnati. Toledo. etc.
Upon one occasion Mr.. Hoag was in
vited to address the committee on
elections Of the parliament of Canada
andSin addition thereto he has spoken
tois. several charter commissions
Throughout the United States.
Father of Ashtabula Plan.
Platform work Ices not occupy all
tho time Mr.. Hoag has left from his
8IOOy OF Tic pTOpOTI1OLdl ASp1CSCAASo
ton principle, for he finds opportuni-
~ and ample time to be editor Of the
Proportional Representative Review.
and has, besides. contributed a large
number of articles to the National
Municipal Review, the Equity, The
American City, and other periodicals
Of economic political nature.
The Ashtabula plan Of city govern
ment, is a direct product of Mr.. Hoag's
studies: it involves city government
with proportional representation for
the commission or council. and was,
through the initiative of Mr.. Hoag'
put to an actual test at Ashtabula.
Ohio, when that city in 1915 decided
to incorporate proportional represen-
tation in its manager plan charter.
Mr.. Hoag is a graduate of Haver-
ford college and an A. B. and A. NJ.
Of Harvard. For a number of years
he was a college teacher before he
took up his work for electoral re-
form.
Where System is Used.
