Strict enforcement of the old rule

ing vehicles must keep TO the right of
the road. This TO apply both in and
out side cities.
THE multiplicity of traffic laws and
ordinances in the various states, and,
in fact, adjoining municipalities, mill
tate against their proper enforce
ment, said MI Hardy; 1t is no i'm
possible task for the forty-eieht
states to codify their laws so that all
will be the same, and there is no rea-
son why every municipality should
not adapt their ordinances to the
state law. If they must differ, lie.

Urges Separate Streets
"One of the great problems in all
cities is that of congestion, which
also tends To increase the accident
hazard. The tendency in the more
progressive municipalities is to do
everything possible to separate au-
tomobile and street car traffic. This
is proving a boon 10 the pedestrians,
street car riders and automobile
operators, and should be inaugurated
more extensively in every closely
populated center in the country. The
quickness and ease with which auto
mobile traffic is handled on 5th ave-
nue., New York; 2d boulevard, De
troit, and Michigan boulevard. Chi

prove the feasibility Of this plan.
when the automobile was first
coming into general use there were
to be found on many of the principal
streets and roads in the country signs
which read slow going vehicles, keep
to the right These were chiefly
meant for the horSe-draWu wagons,
but as the horse disappeared, so have
the signs But there remain automo-
bile drivers who prefer to go along
slowly.
Il am not advocating speeding. but
when the law permits driving at j
thirty or thirty-five mile an hour rate
on country roads it is not consistent
TO allow a driver who prefers fifteen
miles an hour to hold others back.
There should be a law. and one that
is enforced, requiring the slow driver
to keep to the right OF the road so
that others preferring a faster, but
legal, speed may pass.
AS to the need of more traffic po-
licemen at important Intersections,
including main travelled roads outside
or cities, this is so we'll recognized
that comment is unnecessary.
