WILLARD BAKER DIES VERY
SUDDENLY IN GAINESVILLE

Word was received Wednesday by
Miss Edith Baker of Malta that her
brother Willard Baker had died in
GAINESVILLE at about one o'clock. He
was at his work when he was sud-
denly stricken and fell. His brother
John Baker who resides In Zanes-
vile, was summoned and advised to
get him to the nearest hospital as
soon as possible He died however
before they could reach there. He
had not been in very good health
for some time, but the exact nature
of his trouble had not been deter
mined.
Willard Baker was born in Malta
in 1877, making him about as years
old at the time of his death, and was
a son of the late Nathan S. and
Elizabeth Baker of Malta. The
death of the latter occurred on Apr.
9-two weeks and two days before
the death of her son. This makes
the third death which has occurred
in this family within slightly over a
year, the death of Mrs May Naylor,
sister of Willard Baker, having oc-
Cured March % of last year. His
brothers and sisters surviving are
Edith Baker of Malta and John
Baker of GAINESVILLE, mentioned:
Frank of Springfield; Mrs. Anna
Baldridge OF Delaware; Fred of
Hooksburg; and Mrs. Mamie Terry
of Columbus Mr.. Bakers second
wife died some years ago. He is
survived by two daughters-Anna
and Ruth Baker who reside at Hart
ford, Conn.
The deceased early in life went to
New York state where he was To-
Gated the greater part of the time
until returning to Malta, his old
home, the first of this year. Following
a several days visit there he went to
GAINESVILLE where he had since been
employed at the tube mills. and
where he was working at the time Of
his death.
Miss Edith Baker went to Zanes-
vile Wednesday evening and this
morning she and her brother John
accompanied the body to the Baker
home in Malta Funeral services
will be held there Friday afternoon
at o'clock, conducted by Rev. F.
Gillian, and interment will be made
in the Malta cemetery beside the
graves of his father and mother.

TO SEGREGATE
CITY STREET TRAFFIC
One System To Light Moving We
hicles, With Another Route
For Heay Loads

CHICAGO, March 23.-(By Asso-
ciated Press -Technical experts of
the Chicago Plan Commission are
working out a comprehensive street
plan for the city that vii aggregate
veriOus kinds of traffic and provide
specific streets for specified varie-
ties of traffic
One system Of thoroughfares will
be restricted to light rapid-moving
vehicles and another to heavy slow
moving ones. The width of the
streets will be adjusted to the types
and volume traffic they will be
called upon to bear, and pavements
of all streets will be especially de-
signed to accommodate the kind of
traffic that will use them.
An ingenious color scheme has
been proposed which will compel
traffic to use the proper streets. By
this scheme anyone at any time can
tell instantly whether a vehicle is
on the proper street, and, if not, can
report the violation of the ordin-
ante to the proper city authority.
The idea is tt all trucks of similar
capacity shall bear easily distinguish
able signs of the same kind. For in
stance, all vehicles of five tons capac-
| ity would bear a red plate or sign.
| The streets over which such truck
could pass would be marked by signs
bearing same color. All concerns
using vehicles of any description
would be furnished with city map
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1923-03-23

showing by similar colors the CLASH
fication of every thoroughfare in the
city, and the allowable weight of
loads on the different classes OF
pavements.
The cost of installing street signs,
and of maintaining an adequate
force to compel compliance with
such regulatory measures until the
system becomes self-operative, would
be but a small fraction of the annual
sum now alleged to be wasted by the
destruction of pavements long be-
fore they should have outlined their
usefulness, according to the plan.
Light traffic streets would be
paved with less expensive pavement
than now demanded to bear their
traffic, and often the width Of the
pavement could be decreased, re-
sulting in still more saving to the
