NAL PULLMAN,S DOZEN DON,TS',
FOR PREVENTING ACCIDENTS
Orders Rigid Enforcement Of Traffic Reg
ulations, Supplemented by Suggestions to
Motorists and Pedestrians, Respectively.

| Five fatal traffic accidents the past
week caused Maj. Pullman, superin-
tendent of police. to order rigid con-
! tinuance of the departments cam
accidents. Realizing that all deaths
I in street accidents do not result from
carelessness on the part of the mo-
: florists, Maj Pullman's words or
! warning. repeated in the depart.
| ment's bulletin today, are addressed
to both pedestrians and vehicle driv-
erS.
The suggestions are in the form Of
what Maj. Pullman terms dozen
donts. "six addressed to pedestrians
; Don'ts for Pedestrians.
; DO not step off the curb and into
the street before you look to the left
/ in direction of oncoming traffic.
| DO not fail to look to the right
when you reach the middle of the
street in the direction of oncoming
! traffic.
DO not walk in the street except
when necessary to cross, and then
! you should always cross at right
angle and. if possible, on a crossWalk
at the end of the block.
| DO not fail to watch traffic officers
signal and to move with the street
traffic at busy corners.
! do not pass behind street cars
without stopping, looking and listen
| ing to make sure that you will not
walk into another vehicle.
; do not fail to tell your friends and
relatives. especially your children, to
, be careful when in the street. Be
| careful yourself and carry the lesson
! to others.
DOn'ts for Motorists.
DO not violate the traffic regulaS
lions. especially the speed law.
DO not forget that you must drive
more cautiously at night than in the
day time. Most traffic accidents oc-
cur after sunset.
DO not fail to keep your eyes open
and to think about what you are
doing all the time A moment when
kthan driving your machine may mean
that you will be trying to climb a
tree. batter down a wall, go through
| a bridge or crash into another ma
chine.
DO not forget that the old adage,
The more haste the less speed holds
good for automobile drivers as well
as for pedestrians. A little more
speed may get you somewhere a few
| minutes earlier. but it may increase
your chances for accident hundred
| fold.
DO not forget that you can prevent
accidents to others by little friendly
| cooperation. Call to man If he is
running with his lights out at night
! or if there is something else the mat
| ter with his machine which may cause
| him an accident.
DO not forget to treat every other
man on the road the same as you
| would wRnt to he treated if you Were
| in that mans place. In other words.
| rem ember that the golden rule has
! especial application to automobilisfs."

Mayor Shannon stated to the

ed to attend a meeting Of the po-

and that the jury had discussed
at length the matter of good
roads in the parish, it being their
purpose to levy a tax on the mu-
inequalities as we'll as ether parts
Of the parish to finance the
project. Mr.. Shannon said that
he told the jury that Morgan
City was preparing to build
streets of her own, and that the
people of the community would
not be willing to pay an addi-
tional tax of from two to two
and a half mills to build rs miles
of roads in other parts of the
parish. No action was taken on
the matter of calling a bond is
sue to pave and fix the streets
of Morgan City, the mayor stat
ing that such an issue would be
called within the next 60 to 80
days. He said that he had
spoken to Mr.. Duncan Buie,
state highway engineer, and
that Mr.. Buie had informed him
that the state would pay half Of
the cost Of building the street
from the ferry landing to the
corporate limits of the town, as
this street was a part of the
main highway known as the old
Spanish Trial. He said the
state would also pay half of the
cost of building the road from
the Avoca bridge to Lake
Bridge. Mr.. Buie will be in Nor
gan City in the near future to
