Y Judge Hiram Golf this morning
called attention to a regulation of
traffic, which autoists are either
unacquainted with or which they
wantonly violate very frequently.
This is the regulation passed by the
last session of the legislature that
at all intersections the man to othe
right has the right of way.
This when an autoist approaches
a corner his only thought need be
of the man to his right If all driv-
ers observed this rule there is little
question but that 1t would do away
with many accidents and prevent any
confusion at intersections.
