PAINTING Of STOP
SIGNS IS DELAYED
Other Tasks Keep Small
Force Busy-Turn Rules
Still Problem.

Painting of stop" signs at inter
sections on all of the % streets that
have been selected as boulevard high
ways is being delayed by other eS-
sential work in the traffic paint shop,
Acting Traffic Director Moller said to-
day.
Six of, the seveA of the more i'm
portant thoroughfares have been COM
pletely marked and are in full oper-
alton and the others will be painted
as rapidly as the small force in the
traffic shop can get to that work, Col.
Moller said. These employees have
other traffic work which must be kept
up to date, and the fund of $4,000
year available for marking the streets
does not permit of the employment
of extra sign-painters.
Officials of the Traffic Bureau al
ready have explained that motorists
would not be held for failing to stop
at boulevard where the stop" signs
have not yet been painted. The police,
on the other hand, will enforce the
rule strictly where the signs have
been painted.
Turns Still Problem.
In discussing today his study of the
problem of how vehicles should turn
at policed intersections in order to
make the cross-walks safer for pedes-
trians, Col. Moller said he is convinc-
ed the right-hand turn presents a
more serious problem than the left
hand turn.
II believe we can improve the rule
for left-hand turns without much diff
flculty," Col. Moller said, but 1 have
not decided yet what is the best thing
to do with regard to the right hand
turn
No changes in turning rules will
be made, Col. Moller said, until care
full consideration has been given the
question.
