The Street Plan


The local government controls
the streets of a town, which are
its arteries. If they are adequate
for present and prospective use
they permit free flow of the
traffic which is the commuity's
life blood. If they are carelessly
or inadequately laid out, they fre-
quently bring about serious con-
gestion.
A comprehensive plan furnishes
a program for street changes and
development, with the most urgent
and least expensive steps first on
the list.
1t shows what land must be pre-
served for principal streets and
how the opening of new streets
will affect traffic elsewhere.
1t enables transportation COM
panies and business men to place
terminals and new buildings at
strategic points, where the traffic
can be efficiently handled. 1t
aids in making parks and play
grounds accessible TO those who
want to use them.
In a hundred different ways a
city plan makes for better living
conditions, better business, and a
more attractive and agreeable
city in which to live and do bus
mess.
Street Requirements
Wide thoroughfares are basic
to good planning. They should
lead from the central part of The
city to outlying territory, and
there should be belt or diagonal
streass affecting direes travel he
tween one section and another
without a passage through the
central business district.
Nothing preventable should be
allowed to interfere with the
choice of bess routes for the main
arteries of travel. Without city
plan and the machinery to enforce
It, whole section of the city may
be crippled, and inconvenience
may be heaped on thousands of
people for years to come, by a
new residential development in
which the blocks run the wrong
way or the streets are too narrow.
or by the arbitrary location of a
factory or cemetery.
If some cities were permitted
by tht federal government to de-
velop their harbors on the same
principles that hey use in develop
ing their land, extension of piers
and other distractions would soon
make their channels impossible.

RAILROAD BETTERMENT
REPORTED BY EXPERT

The past three years We're char
acterized as a period of marked i'm
provement in railway passenger and
freight service by Col. A. B. Barber,
manager of the transportation and
communication department of the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States, at meeting last night of the
Washington Railroad Passenger Traf-
fic Association. Col. Barber expressed
the hope that the future will provide
a solution for some of the outstand-
ing problems of the railways.
7 THE consolidation of the railways
into a limited number of systems I'M
der the principles outlined in the trans
portation act will not decrease com
petition. but will give even greater
competition than at present" Col.
Barber said, because the competing
roads serving the same territory will
be of more nearly equal strength.
There is a growing recognition of
the logical division of the field be-
tween rail and motor transportation.
Many of the railroads are gladly Civ
ing up their short-haul passenger
business TO the motor carriers or are
installing bus services of their own -

Y SWIN PROGRAM
NOW UNDER WAY

The Y. M. G. A. swimming program
started Wednesday with the boys
working on the 1000 point contest
This contest is for the purpose of
developing long distance swimmers
The boys receive four points for the
first length of the pool and three
points for every length thereafter
In order to make the full 1000 points
the boys must swim 333 lengths
and no boy can take two tests in
any one day. When a competitor en-
ters the water, he has to swim as

test for that day.
The highest boys so far are Bill
Bouldin with two tests and 63,
Howard March with two tests and
81 lengths, and Lee Bodenhamer with
three tests and So lengths.
The greatest number of lengths
made in one test was made by

equals $50 yards.
The all round swimming tests will
be started next Monday, the first
'4st being the under water swim.
All members of the Y. may sign up
for these tests, as this is a national
| competition within, the ~ of the

FORT YUMA INDIAN SCHOOL
HEAD GOES TO WISCONSIN
(By Dispatch A. P. Wire


YUMA, April %. = superintendent
Byron Sharp of the Fort Yuma In
dian school on the Yuma Indian res
ervation here will be transferred
shortly to the Grand Rapids Indian
agency in Wisconsin, he said today.
H. B. Jolley of klamath Falls, Ore,
is understood to be Sharp's successor
Sharp took charge here April 1, 1925,
relieving Loson Odle, whose regime
of several years had been marked by
sporadic dissensions among certain
Indian factions. The situation was
relieved little by the change, and nu-
merous special agents and inspectors,
delved into the problem of providing
an administration satisfactory to the
tribesmen. The more educated In
dians regard the root of the trouble
to be irrecOncilable jealousies among
the Indians which can be eliminated
only by education.

Why, Thens the Time to Marry.
When pretty May comes down the
year,
And Meadowbrooks arc calling,
And violets are everywhere,
And apple blossoms falling;
When nightingales have come in pairs
and bees their burdens carry,
And little DirG, seem all in love,
WLv, then's toe time to marry.
When summer comes with tasseled
corn,
And yellow poppies bolwing,
And dewy meadows in the morn
But wait the mowers moving
When summer days are sweet and
long,
And summer nights are starry,
And love is ju It one happy song,
Why, then's IN > time to marty.
When moonlight falls upon the snow,
All in the wintry weather,
And sleigh bells jingle as you go,
Just you and she together
When love is more than just dream
Too beautiful to tarry,
And loving words are all they seem,
Why, then's the time to marry.
