Checking Traffic

A check on traffic across the rail
road tracks at Commercial, Main and
Orange streets is being held today
by the city engineering department
and the police department upon the
request of the state railroad commits
sion.
The reason for the test is to de
termine whether or not it is neces-
sary to build another crossing to
handle the traffic, the proposed new
artery being State street.
A number of checks working in
four hour shifts started work this
morning at 4 o clock and will con
tinue until the same hour tomorrow
morning. The check not only in.
cludes automobile and pedestrian
traffic but also the number of trains
passing the streets mentioned above
Should the figures in the check
show there is necessity of an ad
ditional artery for traffic it is
probable that immediate action will
be taken by the railroad commission
to permit the city to build the cross
ing, City Engineer Phil knights
stated this morning.
Several petitions have been sub
mitted by the city to the commission
seeking the opening of State street
but heretofore nothing definite has
ever been accomplished.

for an invasion by other four footed
actors.
Strongheart was owned by Miss
Jane Murfin, a scenario writer, who
brought him to this country eight

Murfin was associated with Larry
