BUS DRIVERS WARNED

New York State to Protect Lighter
Cars From Selfish Use
CT Highways.

Might doesn't make right IL. in ef-
feet, the warning given to bus drivers
in New York state by Charles A. Har-
nett, commissioner of motor vehicles.
Operators of the heavy passenger
vehicles have been advised that they
will be held to strict accountability
for unsurping more than their right
full share of the road or driving with
such speed and recklessness as to
ieopardize the safety of other users
of the highway.
Within a few days orders will be
sent to the inspection division to sum-
mon to court all bus drivers who ex-
coed the speed limit or drive in a
reckless manner. In addition to prose
cution of such drivers. bus companies
will be directed to appear at the bu-
reau office for inquiry as to bus sched.
ules ami the speed required to meet
the time limit.
This action follows a warning issued
last month by William F. Dinneen,
deputy commissioner of motor We.
hicles, to all bus corporations, In
which it is said that many complaints
emphasize specifically the fact that
the operators of omnibuses hold more
than their half of the road, thereby
forcing the lighter vehicles of the
hard surface to avoid accidents" The
warning quotes the highway law which
prohibits the practice of "hogging'
the road. and urges the owners of
omnibuses to call the attention of all
employees to the bureau warming
THE operation of omnibuses should
be made reasonably safe Commits
sioner Harnett said. land the Bureau
of Motor Vehicles is determined to put
an end to speeding buses at a rate
that endang the lives of passengers
in order that running time may be
maintained.

DEPLORES DANGER
IN SLOW DRIVING
Maryland Official Says Even
Speeding Causes Fewer
Accidents on Roads.

The slow driver is more of menace
on the State highways than the
motorist who drives fast, even the
man who drives beyond the speed
limit. according to John N. Mackall,
chairman Of the Maryland roads com
mission.
Mr.. Mackall expressed this opinion
recently before meeting of the Balti.
more Safety Council. In which he said
he has yet to hear of an accident on
the State highways due to speed
alone.
In Mackalrs view, 1t is the slow
driver rather than the fast driver,
who is dangerous on much travelled
thoroughfares. Trying to pass the
slow driver on congested roads is
dangerous; to stay behind him is a
waste of time and a strain upon the
nerves, he said.
Calls Him "l3ugbear.''
AS the chairman of the roads com
mission sees 1t, the slow driver is the
'bugbear."
Mackall believes there should be a
minimum speed limit of 25 miles or
so an hour, applicable upon the main
thoroughfares. during the hours of
traffic congestion. He foresees also
the possibility of uniform speed law,
with no vehicle being allowed to turn
out of the travel lane in order to pass
Trucks and other large and COM
paratively slow -moving motor vehicles
Mackall suggests, might be kept off
the highways during the hours of
maximum traffic.
Mackalls idea liz that the primary
purpose OF a state policeman should
be to supervise and expedite traffic,
rather than make arrests for viola
tions of the speed limit or for failures
to have the rear light or parking light
lit. The Maryland road chief main
tains that a speed Of more than 35
miles an hour Is not prima facie evil
dence of reckless driving. He would
have other factors taken into con
sideration besides the mere rate of
speed.
Predicts 1OO.FOOt Highways.
The States main arteries of traffic
should be of boulevard width. Mackall
asserts. but recognizes at the same
time that this. for the present. is i'm,
possible because of the great expendi-
ture of money it would entail.
II expect to live to see boulevard
100 feet wide between Baltimore and
Annapolis. and between Baltimore and
Washington" he said, but that day
is not yet.
Meanwhile. with proper regulation,
narrower roads can be made to &C.
commodate more traffic than can
boulevards where there is no adequate
regulation"

There is no need for alarm if the

water. II makes difference in the

the water vapor comes in contact with
