Civic Club Opens Safety Campaign

Civic Club Opens safety Campaign
With the advent of so many new
ears and drivers since our new
roads have been opened, traffic
hazards have increased in a large
measure. On Saturday night it is
even more dangerous to cross one
of our business streets than one of
a large city where traffic men or
lights control the stream of We
hicles. 1t is the conviction that
safety measures should be taken to
promote public safety. The coun-
ellis OF the cities and the Civic club
have conferred, and the former
will remark the streets, and later
when The people have had time to
learn the new traffic regulations,
they will be strictly enforced.
The Civic club will shortly in
stall stop signals at all important
corners. As more accidents hap
pen at corners than at any other
place, it is hoped they will be
eloselv observed and obeyed Xxx.
