MO VALLEY HAS TRAFFIC
ORDINANCE.

The town council of Missouri VAL
ley has passed and published traffic
ordinance which every town should
adopt with notifications to suit the
varying conditions. This ordinance
complies with the state law regarding
lights, cutouts, alarms, etc., and the
parking arrangements of the town are
taken into consideration. If every
town in the state would insist on the
strict letter Of the law being followed
by motorists, common people could
enjoy life more and travel would be
safer for the automobilists them
selves. However, there seems to be a
feeling on the part of officials that
the motorists are the most important
part of the citizenship and whatever
they seem to want to do must be al
lowed, Notwithstanding that the other
folks outnumber the automobiles
about four to one, even in Iowa. How
ever, you can say this much for them,
very few of them know what the law
is regarding the operation of motor
vehicles, so they are perhaps excus-
able, but they should be instructed, so
that they need not disobey the lays.
