CHANGE BACK TO NARROWER

!. Something new under the sun has
hit the city on Saturday nights The
blinker lights are left 10 operate
automatically. az they do most of
the week. instead of being operated
. by q en-witted traffic officer from
the central tower. as formerly was
the case each Saturday night and at
such other times when traffic snarls
were many.
The system is no good. The first
! thing that happens is that trolley
cara, stopping to disgorge passengers.
!, do - while the automatic lights give
traffic the right OF way. The trolley
cars thus block the right of way. By
the time the trolleys are ready to
proceed the lights blink red, and
. there is no right of way. The sys-
tenn thus results in a double wait
about half the time One trolley
motorman on Saturday stated he lost
an entire run because Of the uncon-
scionable delay in getting through
the downtown district.
A man in the traffic tower can
avoid this by operating the lights in
conformity with the logic of the
situation. When trolleys disgorge
passengers he can-and did-put OH
the amber lights for pedestrians.
When the trolleys were ready to
proceed automobiles as well as troll
leys would get the right of way at
the same time.
There is no automatic substitute
for brain power. Chief of Police
Hart. who it is understood ordered
the change TO all-automatic opera :
tion on Saturday nights. should
change back to the old system.
