Painted White Lines
On Main Street
To Aid Traffic

WRterville IL experiencing some
thing new in traffic regulations along
the main street. Chief Of Police
William H. Murray, with the aid of
his corps of assistants have been
busy lately painting white lines
parallel to the course Of the street at
a certain distance from the curb.
Cars parking along the street are
expected to keep inside Of these lines
and so far drivers have done very
well. The lines are out far enough
to give every car, no matter what
length, plenty Of chance to park
comfortably If the driver exercises
reasonable care in driving his We
hicle up to the curb and outside of
the line there is room enough for
traffic to move up and down the
street.
AS it was before some drivers were
prone to drive their cars in at such
an agnle that the street would be
blocked in places when the trolley
cars were on the street, especially
between Common and Silver streets
where Main street is narrowest.
Other white lines designate
safety zones and crosswalks for pc
destrians and hydrant zones. These
lines are big enough so that there is
no excuse for any driver breaking
the traffic rules which are not SO
intricate and cumbersome as to tax
the mentality Of anyone.
Chief Murray has also added many
OF the So called mushroom silent
policemen to the equipment of the
city and these are located at all
bad corners throughout the business
and residential districts.
Traffic officers are on duty a part
Of every day at postoffice square and
on special occasions and Saturday
evenings there are officers stationed

", H, s, NETMEN
OUT FOR C0NY'S
SCALP SATURDAY

Especial to The Kennebec Journal)
Waterville, May 22.-The athletic
teams at the Waterville High school
were held up yesterday because OF
rain. The baseball team has no
game scheduled for Saturday as yet
but Manager McEwen is communi-
eating with several teams in this
locality but he has not met with any
success as yet. The tennis team Will
attempt to make it five straight at
the expense of Cony.
1t looks as if the Waterville team
has a good opportunity to come
through in this game. Last Wednes-
day the local boys defeated Gardi-
ner 81 and in turn Gardiner beat
Cony 80. In view of this everything
points to Waterville win. The
real interesting feature of this game
will be the match between Cap
tain Talberth of Waterville and
err man has met defeat in high
school ranks and when they meet,
some fireworks are expected.
The Waterville outfit has been go
ing great this year and If they de-
feat Cony, Saturday, they will be
in a place to claim the State bunt-
ing. They have played four games
this year and have won all of them.
Besides this the Waterville team
of last year was also an undefeated
team.
The track team has been held
up also by the rain. Coach Suss-
man is keeping the men in trim
just the same for this Colby meet.
He has many new men entered in
