CITY COUNCIL
PLANS TRAFFIC

The city commissioners plan Ia
adopt a standard traffic automobile
ordinance TO take the. place of other
city ordinance governing traffic.
me new ordinance will make large

visiting other cities viii not be EN-
oafrassed by laws they are not in the
habit of obeying.
A special section governing park

Incorporated in the ordinance. This
Will provide fer one hour parking in
specified districts, probably as fol
lows: Neil street from Washington
street to Clark street; West Church
street from Neil to Randolph: Main
street from Neil to Chestnut; and
Green street from Fifth to Wright.
other streets are likely to be affect
ed. Among these are TAYLOR street
from Neil to Walnut; Market. Hick-
ory and a small section of University
avenue.
Changes will be made in the length
OF time cars may park in a given
locality. The obvious purpose being
to discourage the practice followed
by merchants and professional men
who park their cars early in the
morning and leave them standing in
one place all day. The ordinance is
expected to, in a large measure. clear
the streets of congestion which has
reached the point of a public nuisance.
Certain sections of the ordinance
will govern driving on residence
streets, turning of corners, questions
or right-of-way that are now not
clearly defined in all eases. following
the fire department to the scene of
fires, and careful restrictions govern
ing speeding throughout the city.
The ordinance is becoming a stand
ard law in many cities of the state
and will aid largely i'm control of the
auto traffic.

Hkpiy TO acclaim high taxation as a
reason for not voting the proposition
through at this time, yet it should
be explained that the increase in taxes
will be so small that the total amount
paid by any tax payer in a given
year will scarcely be noticed.
The Review heartily endorses the
plan in view of the fact that the
children of workingmen will receive
special attention under the direction
Of competent leaders. =
The supervised play election is
scheduled on the same date as the
election Of supreme court judge. who
is to be elected for a period of nine
years.
This election is of paramount i'm
portanee to Union Labor. There is an
opportunity to dispense with the OBJ
jectionabe services of the present in
cumbent who is known to Labor as an
injunction Judge, and to elect Judge
Stringer, who is an outstanding figure
in Illinois politics and who is a known
friend of Labor. The election date is

FIGHT AGAINST
STUDENT POLICE
HAS CEASED

Fraternity members residing in the
University district have apparently
dropped their fight against Jack
Hillyer, student policeman in the EN-
ploy Of the Champaign police force.
The fight assumed the character of
persecution chiefly because it was
alleged that Hillyer had proved him.
self unqualified to carry a weapon
even Is an officer thrnngh tho killine
of a student last autumn.
This appeared to form the back
ground Of the resentment against the
officer in student quarters.
Again it was alleged that he acted
unwisely while attempting to control
a crowd which gathered in front of
the 0rpheum and Virginia theatres
at the time of the Spring celebration.
Other petty allegations were urged
against him all of which the city
council refused to consider.
A meeting of several representa-
tiyeS of the Chamber of Commerce
and local clubs to advise regarding
the charges terminated in failure even
to place the matter before the city
council officially.
1t was understood that that body
had refused to consider the COM
plants against the student officer,
even though urged to do so by conn.,
mttee Of Champaign citizens. Hear
Ing of their attitude the matter APP
pears to have been entirely dropped,
Hlllyer has won his case by eff
cheney on the police force and not
through any attempt to fight his case
even by defending himself against
the charges. So manifestly was he in
the line of duty and acting fearlessly
as a capable officer should, that there
proved to be no case against him.
The students were advised to let
time bring the desired results, in view
Of the fact that Hillyer is generally
considered too capable man to per
manently reconcile himself to a police
commission, and will probably volun-
tarily resign.

His appearance in that city was

Protestants cannot understand the

high clergymen would wear a purple

they must be distinguished from the
