Chief PARKER Makes
STATEMENT RELATIVE
TO THE TRAFFICL LAWS
Points Out Just What He Ex-
poets The Drivers OF Au-
tomobiles To Do
The traffic problems of Mt. Vernon
continue to perpleX the drivers of au-

The traffic problems of Mt Vernon
tomobiles.
Accordingly Chief of Police p. j.
Parker today made the following
statement to The Banner:
81 have had numerous inquiries as
to right of way at street intersec.
tions and it has been problem in
my mind as to an answer to that ques-
ton. However, have decided on a
plan that | think will insure absolute
safety to all drivers il they will prac-
tico it.
For example, We will take the in
tersection of Vine and Main streets.
II you are going south on Main and
the other fellow is approaching Main
from West Vine he is to your right
and would have right of way If he
is approaching Main from East Vine,
and you are going south on Main you
would be to his right and would have
right oe way. In other words, the
man to your right would have right
of way.
always keep your eye on the traf-
fic on the right and the man on the
left should keep his eye on you as
he would be at the right of anyone
coming in the opposite direction, who
should protect him.
"The people are observing the cut.
out ordinance very nicely with the
exception of very few and they
must get in line at once.
"The parking rules are being OBJ
served almost to the letter with the
exception of an occasional one who
will say 4 just want to stop here
minute with the machine in the main
thoroughfare.' If you want to stop go
to the curb. If you cannot get to the
curb on the street where you want to
stop, go to another street.
"The quicker we get together and
try to help the other fellow out, the
quicker we are going to have this
traffic problem solved"
