City Fire Departments
Can Aid at Rural Fires
New Law Gives Protection to Fire
men While Engaged in Outside
City Limits

The Sank Centre fire department
will be permitted to fight fires in
points outside the city limits as q
result of a bill sponsored by the
Minnesota State Fire Department
association and the League of Min
nesota municipalities, which was
passed at the recent legislative ses-
sion.
Workmen's compensation, paid to
firemen injured while fire fighting,
will now be obtainable in causes of
accidents occurring while firemen
are working outside the corporate
limits. Previous to passage of the
enabling act their compensation for
injuries was suspended whenever
fires outside the city limits were
fought.
Explaining the new bill, George
Fish, fire chief, said it will enable
fire departments to assist each 9TH
er with greater readiness.
Should an accident have oc-
CURED to our men while we were
outside the city limits" he said,
I'VE would have been unable to
collect any insurance for the in
jury"
The new bill was not drafted
with particular view to protection
Of farm properties from fire. Mr..
Fish explained. He said attempts
to protect farm property were gen.
orally impractical due to lack of
adequate equipment there.

CITIES ARE ADVISED
TO PLAN ROADS EARLY
Winter Letter of Highway Con-
tracts Said to Have Many
Benefits.

With automobile usage still rapidly
increasing and the street and road daily
becoming of more Importance, the de-
STABILITY of making highway construc-
ton plans early is being considered by
many towns.
Highway engineers are urging that
plans be made and contracts let as
early as possible in the Winter and
Spring preceding the construction sea-
SON. Many communities have gone even
further by making definite plans for
construction work a full year ahead.
Early planning, it is pointed out, pro-
vides ample time for the extensive pre-
paratory work that goes with any siza-
BILE project. In building rural pave
ments for instance, old roadways are
often shortened for economy's sake and
old and new roadbeds must be put into
proper condition. These operations may
call for considerable time.
In city paving many other items
must be considered. Where permanent
pavement projects are contemplated it
is, of course. highly desirable to place
all underground utilities, such as water
mains. electric wires, telephone cables
and so on, in firSt-class condition In
order to avoid the constant tearing up
of streets with which 50 many munich
palitieS are afflicted.

tenance. :.
From those comparative figures 1t
can be easily seen that the automobile
owner is paving more than his share
toward building and maintaining roads
and streets, particularly when it is re-
membered that adjacent land values,
in almost every instance, are benefited
more by these good roads than their
total cost of construction and operation.
Efficiency dictates the building OF
only high-type roads. They save actual
dollars and cents in operating costs, re-
pairs. replacement and time.
Americas future in highway con-
struction depends largely on the intelli-
gence of public officials in planning
new highways and revising the old.
Rights of way must be secured which
will permit widening as traffic increases.
Bridges should be constructed that can
easily be enlarged. Adequate facilities
for the future depend upon scientific
planning and construction.

TRAFF|CPROPOSAL
Maryland Commission Fears
Confusion if Vehicles Pass

Special Dispatch to The star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, Md, February s.-The
provision in the boulevard" bill, now
before the Legislature, allowing vehicles
travelling in the same direction on roads
wide enough for three lanes of trafic
to pass either to the right or left was
assailed this week by z. Austin Baugh-
man, commissioner of motor vehicles.
Mr.. Baughman and G. Clinton Uhl.
chairman Of the State roads commits
sion, both discussed the measure, Mr..
Uhl pointing out that the commission
he heads had made thorough study
of the measure before 1t was introduced
in the Assembly.
Speaking particularly of the section
which allows the State roads commits
sion to designate "boulevards" and re-
quires all vehicles approaching such
highways to halt and give right OF way
to the trafflc on the boulevard" Mr..
Uhl said that its enactment would be
satisfactory to the commiss:V,.
Further Study Desired.
Mr.. Baughman said that the "boule-
ward" provision had "some good points,"
but that he would not give, an official
opinion on it until he had an oppor-
tunity to make further study and Its
effect II enacted.
Mr.. Baughman declared that his
opposition to the proposal that vehicles
should be allowed to pass to the right
or left on certain roads when travelling
in the same direction was due to the
confusion such change would cause.
cat the present time when q notorist
Is travelling along a road and hears an
other car blow from the rear, signifying
the desire of the driver to pass, the lead
ing car moves over to the right side Of
the road" Mr.. Baughman continued.
Under the proposed plan the motorist
would not know whether the car in the
rear intended to pass to the right or
left. and would be undecided as to
which side Of the road to take. 1t is too

Right Of Way to Firemen.
The bill requires that operators Of all
vehicles must give right of way to fire
apparatus and similar machines when
they are operated on official business.
When the drivers of such equipment
sound horns, sirens or whistles all other
