AYSPEDESTR|ANS
MAY Be REGULATED
Corporation Counsel De.
cIares Board May Control
All Kinds of Traffic.

The Commissioners have power to
regulate pedestrians as we'll as We
hicular traffic, if in their opinion
such action should become advisa BILE,
Corporation Counsel Stephens de-
clared today.
Although regulation requiring
pedestrians to cross streets only at
intersections was enacted about seven
years ago, and not upheld in Police
Court, Mr.. Stephens said he believes
such an ordinance could be drafted
today in such form as to be sus-
tanned
The old regulation read, in part, as
follows: Pedestrians should avoid
Interference with traffic and to this
end should not step from the side
walk without first looking to see
what is approaching; should cross
the street at right angle, prefera-
bly at a regular crossing at the
end of a block. and, where a traffic
policeman is stationed, wait for his
signal ."
According to Mr.. Stephens, when
pedestrian was taken into court some
ytars ago, the regulation was held to
be unreasonable. 1t is Mr.. Stephens
opinion, however, that if at the pres
ent time such a rule were put into
effect and applied only to the con-
gested section of the city, he would
regard it as a reasonable regulation.
Ample Precedent.
Il can readily see how such a re-
Quirement would be regarded as un-
reasonable if made to apply to out
lying residential sections, where
traffic is not heavy" the corporation
counsel said. But there is ample
precedent for applying such regula-
tions to one section of the city.
There is no question in my mind
