For This City
Mark KeSIer Thinks AduI-

Should gaspline be considered un-
der the pure iood ordinance
Mark ii. kesler, commissioner OF
safety. EXPRESSED the opinion this
morning that gasoline should be gov
erned by the same restrictions as
food and drink.
kesler's opinion was expressed this
morning when the city commissioners
engaged in a discussion Of current
topics prior to their meeting. While
not directly accusing any one en-
gagged in the sale OF gasoline, Kesler
said he couldn't understand why
gasoline, in some instances, iroze in
the winter time. He said he consid-
cred this as prima facie evidence that
the gas contained water. Kesler said
he would support any move looking to
the passage OF an ordinance calling
for pure gasoline, and that same
should be fashioned after the pure
food ordinance.

TRAFFIC LAW
! REVISION IS
CONSIDERED
City Commission and Con-
mitteeS Hold Meeting,
SUGGESTIONS ARE ASKED
Main Street Parking ReStfic-
ton Is Discussed,

The first move toward thorough
revision OF traffic ordinance, in this
city began today when committee
from the Auto Owners and Dealers
association conferred with the city
commissioners. Later in the meeting
A. ID. McMulltn. secretary Of the
Retailers association. was called in
Mayor Walton proposed a plan TO
send committee on a tour Oi inspec-
tion OF several eastern cities. This
plan was abandoned Members OF
the committee said they believed lit
tie could be gained in ideas from
other cities.
Ordinances Confusing.
i, was pointed out that many Of
dinances here governing traffic are
confusing and, in some cases, oontrat
dictory. The advisability OF barring
traffic from Main street from Broad
way W Hudson Was discussed and
also a plan 10 limit parking on that
street to N or 20 minutes, Mr.. Nc
Mullen said merchants along Main
street would seriously oppose the
move TO entirely prohibi, parking on
tina, thoroushfsre.
II was pointed out that IN move
ment OF traffic down town Is too
slow and that much congestion re-
suits. This COM iiion, Il was stated, Is
mainly Attributable to the ordinance
prohibiting automobiles and other We
hiclss from passing stationary street
cars. Il is probable that safety zones
Uill be established contiguous TO cat
tracks where ths cars stop. By
clearing the parking spaces on curb,
parallel TO the saf.ty zones automo-
biles may pass without endanserins
persons boarding or alishiing from
street cars.
How Paris Does.
Municipal Counselor Ross Lillard
was asked about traffic conditions ia
Paris. He said that when 4 person
was run down by vehicle he wa.
hailed into court as soon as he wa
able to leave the hospital, and fined
for obs,ructing traffic. The commits.
sioner, decided this plan was some
what too drastic for adoption here.
Members OF the automobile com.
mi,tee were reque-ted by the cit,
commissioners to confer with the re
tailers' association and draw up ten
tativs plans governing traffic here
Later q report will be rendered to th'
commissioners and ordinances passed
The commissioners and confereel
agreed that = speed Of 20 miles PEI
hour in the residence district and ]!
miles in the business district wer,
satisfactory and that no chang
would be made.

CRANE FOR DAM
Commissioner Wants Prop
erty Protected Further

That a crane should be constructed
on the east bank OF the bypass at
the new dam to liit heavy pieces Of
driftwood from the stream before
striking the dam. was the opinion ex-
pressed this morning by Joe Patter-
son, commissioner OF public property
Patterson said that in flood times
large logs would probably float down
the bypass and IL not disposed Of
would jam against the concrete struc-
ture. This constant humping and
jamming, he said, would tend TO wear
away the dam. The crane. according
10 Patterson, could be installed Al,
small cost above the dam. That he
would probably introduce a resolution
