The Right To Use The Highways

The general purpose of the crea-
ton of streets and highways is that
they shall be used for travel, and
all members of the public have the
right to use these public avenues
for that purpose.
The difficult part for us to rea-
lie seems to be that these rights
in the highways are equal. No su-
Deriority exists at law for any par
ticular class of users. Automobiles
pedestrains, horse-drawn vehicles.
and all other means of transporta-
tion. excepting those running on
tracks under a specially granted
right of way, have exactly the same
rights to use the highways.
This is a point frequently over
Hooked by the operators of automO-
biles. Being in possession of a We
bi6le of unequalled speed and pow
er. it is very difficult to realize that
an old lady or child desiring TO
proceed slowly across the highway
in front of our machine, has exact
Iy the same right to do so as we
have to rush by in front of her.
Under the recent decisions Of the
courts of several of our states, this
rule is not confined to regular foot
crossings. Much has been said IN
condemnation of sO-called jay
walking" by pedestrians which has
no legal foundation, the truth being
that any one can use any part OF
the highway at any time, so long as
he does not obstruct it in any un-
usual manner.
The customary or usual and ordi-
nary use of a highway is for trave
from one point to another, bott
along and across it. The exact
status of these rights will be dis
cussed in subsequent articles deal
ing with pedestrians. 1t is only
necessary to emphasize here tha'
ali classes of persons and vehicles
are legally entitled to use the high
wavs for any lawful purpose, pro
vided that such use be exercised II
a lawful manner.
This has been true and Will con
tinue to be true with regard to an!
new mode of locomotion which ma!
Milford chronicle., 1926-05-28

be invented.
To say that new mode of passage
should be banished from the streets
no matter how much the general
good may require it, simply because
the streets were not used at the
time of the Revolutionary War,
would hardly compOrt with the ad-
vancement and enlightenment of the
present age.
Public rights, therefore, do not
depend upon the methods of travel
recognized at the time the highways
were opened or such public uses as
have been sanctioned by long con-
tinued custom and acquescence, and
the use of the streets can be ex-
tended to meet new needs of trans
portatiOn as they arise.
IF there is any one fact" says
the supreme court of one of our
states. established in the history
of society and of the law itself, it
is that the mode of exercising the
general easement over the high
ways is extensive, developing and
growing as civilization advances. In
the most primitive state of society,
the conception of a highway was
merely a foot-path; in a slightly
more advanced state, it included the
idea of a way for pack-animals,
and next. way for vehicles drawn
by animals. These three kinds of
highways were recognized as being
of a different kind and were set
apart for different usages at that
time, but as the methods of using
the public highways expanded with
the growth of civilization, the high
ways became devoted to a variety
of uses not known in former times
and never dreamed of at the time
when the public easement was ac-
quired. Hence, it has become the
settled law that the public ease
ment is not limited to the particu-
lar methods of use in vogue whe1
the easement was acquired, but in
cludes all new and improved meth
DDS of utility and general conven.
ience which may afterward be dis.
covered and developed in aid of the
general purpose for which high.
ways are designed"

cry child the highest advantages in
physical, mental, moral and spirit
ual oOucatiOn.
Mr.. Scott was elected second wee
president of the Negro National
Congress Of Parents & Teachers
His duties in this Office will take
him all over this country and prob
ably many foreign countries.
He is a man of wide and varied
experience; a good mixer knows
how to make friends among all peo-
pie and yet condemn their wrongs in
such a way that he holds their con
f;dence.
AS citizens Of Milford we should
all be proud of him and as members
of his race you should rejoice in his
advancement. He presented the fol
lowing P. T. A. QUESTIONABLE which
may be helpful to P. T. A. members

About claim.

BIZ United Press
BOSTON. Aug. 10.-When asked
for a statement regarding the ten
million dollars claim filed against the
e. w. Scripps estate at Hamilton,
Ohio, Thomas l.. Sidlo, general
counsel and controller Of Scripps-
Howard concern, said here today:
"All I know about the claim is
what I have read In the newspapers
that a claim for ten million dollars
was filed. That is a fairly large
sum of money, but this is the season
for hot weather fiction.
THE claim has never been pre-
scented to Robert p. Scripps, who Is
the executor Of the E. w. Scripps
estate and sole representative and
trustee Of e. w. Scripps. Nor was
the claim, to my knowledge, ever
presented to E. w. Scripps during
his life time. In any case this claim
can have no effect upon the present
management and control of the
Scripps-Howard concern, which man.
agement and control were established
by z. w. Scripps several years be-
fore his death"
