IMPORTANT REVISION TRAFFIC RULES
TO SOLVE CITY AUTOMOBILE PROBLEMS

An important meeting Of the Traffic
Committee Of the City Government
wa. held Friday, June 26th, for the
purpose Of solving the problem of the
trafiic and the parking of automo-
biles.
Mr.. G. w. Bowie Of the Androscog-
gin & Kennebec Railroad met with
the Traffic Committee to confer on
question which concerned the Street
Railroad, as we'll as the Traffic Com
mittee. An arrangement was entered
into between the Traffic Committee
and the A. & K. Street Railroad,
which calls for a change in the pres
emit system Of stopping street cars on
Water street:
No street cars heading toward Gar
diner will stop with their rear end
further than on the line even with
the State Trust Company Building.
No street cars passing North will
stop with their rear end further than
opposite the Waiting Room.
This arrangement was made SO
that It would be possible 70 traffic at
all times to 60 up Oak street onto
Commercial street, regardless Of
whether or not street cars are stopped
by the Waiting Room.
The safety zones for street cars on
Water street will be marked off plain
ly with white lines and arrows will
indicate tho direction which traffic
will take in passing these zones.
Several new signs for one way
street, and mo Parking signals were
approved.
The Commercial street parking
space will be marked of with white
lines 80 that all traflc on the West
side Of Commercial street will park
only between diagonal lines so that
in backing out, they will head toward
Market Square.
All parking on the East side of
Commercial street will be so ar
ranged that traffic will be headed to-
ward Bridge street.
The parking Of automobiles near
hydrants was considered and the
t Traffic Committee with the accord Of
Chief Small of the Fire Department
are Of the opinion that 10 feet on
either side Of the hydrants along
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1925-07-02

| Water street is sufficient for reserved
space for the fire apparatus. II this
change Is made, white lines will be
drawn to indicate the points beyond
which cars must not park.
The Traffic Committee has in
structed the city marshal to prosecute
any or all violators of the parking
ordinances Of this city. as are out
lined below:
MOTORISTS are warned that they
will be arrested TO speeding or pass
ing cars on Rines Hill:
For parking longer than the lime
limit allowed on Water Street:
For parking within the space re-
served at fire hydrants:
For parking within spaces marked
mo parking here"
A space Of so feet has been reserv-
ed on Arsenal Street and Bowman
Street, at the intersection Of Cony
Street on which vehicles are not to
be allowed to park, due to the con-
gestion which this causes to trafiic
on those streets, and to the fact that
parking on those points obstructs the
view Of traffic passing on Cony Street.
Motorists are warned that the
parking Of vehicles is forbidden on
Oak street. and any further parking
on this street viii be called to the at
tention Of the Police Department.
Motorists are also warned that 1t Is
against the law to turn car around
on Water street between Market
Square and Bridge street.
Pedestrians are warned that certain
safety zones are provided for their
use at the following points on Water
street: At the Augusta Trust Com
pany crossing Water street to the op-
posite side, white lines plainly mark
ing this space: at the State Trust
Company crossing Water Street, and
at Bridge Street, crossing Water
street in front Of the Augusta Drug
Company.

crepe de chine, She wore hat to

Following the ceremony a buffet
breakfast was served at the home
Of the brides parents. There was
a large number of friends and rela-
tives present, including many from
Waterville and Lewiston. Mr.. and
Mrs. Tardif left on the 9.10 train
for a two weeks honeymoon at Old
Orchard. Mrs. Tardif's going away
suit was an ensemble of ashes of
roses, fur trimmed with hat to
match. Upon their return they will
reside on Northern avenue.
The young couple are very popu-
lar, Mr.. Tardif is employed at the
Edwards mills and Mrs. Tardif has
been very pleasing and efficient
assistant at Mrs. LeClair's millinery
shop since completing her schooling.
A reception was given the bride-to-
be Sunday evening at the home OF
her parents, to which large mum.
Der of friends and relatives were
in attendance. Mrs. Tardif was
guest of honor recently to an elab-
crate shower at which she received
many lovely and useful gifts.

DOLLAR DAY
CROWDS JAM
THE STORES

Augustus Dollar days opened
Wednesday with every prospect Of
being the most successful the mer-
chants Of the city have held. Never
before have shoppers been blessed
with such agreeable weather as was
provided Wednesday-pleasant and
comfortable.
On top Of this, in honor Of the Wis
fling governors, the National flag
was flown from about every business
house on Water and Cony streets,
while many Of the stores went in for
attractive special decorations. The
combination seemed to make Of Dol
lar day a gala event.
Even before some Of the stores had
opened for business, the shoppers
had begun to come and they kept
coming all day. Many Of the stores
were so crowded that it was difficult
for the patrons to get through the
aisles. Today's crowds will probably
be even larger SO that it looks as If
shopping records would be broken,
especially with the unusually pleas
ing values being offered.

MISSING PALISADE
GIRLS NOW AT HOME
Had Stayed Out Late and Feared
to Return; Found in
EdgeWater.

Rose Sentiern and Edall Lund, the
West Palisade girls who disappeared
from their homes the Sunday before
last have returned.
The girls were traced by Detective
Count Stengel of the Fort Lee
police department and taken into Gus.
tody in Edgewater.
The story, as told by the girls, is
that at the park they met two boy
friends whom they had known slightly
for some time, and stayed in their
company until a late hour Sunday
night Becoming alarmed at the hour
and afraid of the wrath of their par.
ents, they decided to say away from
home.
The boys, who are said to live in
the Bronx, and are known to the
police only as Harry and Bob, sug-
gested a furnished rooming house in
lower New York city as place of
security from either parents or police
hhu etSSOlhPlhlCd IliC Sll 10 lACiO Scil ~
Monday morning. The girls stayed
alone at the rooming house, but met
the boys Monday and Thursday eve
nings and went motoring with them.
They were practically without funds
by the end of the week and, having
some money due them by the U. S.
Aluminium Co. in Edgewater, came
over to the Jersey side to collect it,
where they were picked up by Stengel
and Chief O'Brien of the Edgewater
police. Stengel had been in touch with
the New York police since the girls
disappeared and they co-operated in
tracing their movements.
