MORAL RESPONSIBILITY"
 FACES THE CITY

That there is a growing impression that the city is unnecessarily hard hearted about claims for damages made against it by individuals who can show injury is undeniable. If a corporation acted in the same man ner there would be unmitigated criticism. Az we see it. there is no reason why the city should be more hard-boiled than 8 "heartless cor. poration."
 Rather than this, it is our belief it should be the aim of the city to set a sood example in meeting the just demands of that moral responsibility that is preached from the pulpit, in- culcated into the minds of the young. and pictured as the flower of civili- zation.
 Instead of that. there is a belief that the city sets an example in the other direction.
 There is the case of Mrs. Eugene Bleau, for instance. The mayor is incontestably right in this matter. There is moral responsibility in- volved which no fair-minded per son, in his dealings with his fellow man. would seek to dodge. It is only when legal technicalities intervene that the city takes to the notion that there is no legal responsibility.
 Then there is the case of boy who was struck down and inju.ed by the motorcycle of 8 cop. The reluctance shown to meet this case half way is evident. Nearly every day there are stories of lawsuits as q result of automobile accidents, and the city seems to take to the notion that as sentiment and moral respon- sibility has no bearing upon legal responsibility, let those with claims against the city sue in the law courts. This procedure gives work to the lawyers and invariably increases the money that might be paid out.
 Less of ! hard boiled attitude is shown. however, where blocks of voters are concerned. That is . dif- ferent matter entirely. Politicians. even when inclined to be hard boil ed. do not like to risk offending tho sensibilities of an entire district of voters. Thus, when Corporation Counsel Kirkham was asked whether there was actual liability to the city as the result of the flood damage in Belvidere. and requested to be specific, the legal adviser admitted there was question about it.
 This leads to the assumption that. IL SAVAS "aS 4uCSlIVA aOVut IL. why did the city agree to make a payment without having recourse to one of the splendid legal fights that seem to be so frequently necessary to establish a principle of law and jus tice? The only answer that comes to mind is that it was politically ex- pedient to do so.
 It is true that moral responsibility does not amount to much in the eyes of the law. that the mountains move only when legal responsibility is the criterion. But in the eyes of the people there is such thing as moral responsibility and it is potent guide for individual conduct: and that it should be an equally potent influence in the conduct of corporate and municipal bodies.

nual conference in Washington in Sep.
TENDER, and he intended to discuss with
them the left turn rule OF the uniform
code, as well as WaShingtonS unusual
left turn rule.
Has Not Conferred.
Mr.. Harland also pointed out that he
had not conferred with the Commits
sioners relative to a change In the ex-
isting left turn rule, and did not know
whether they approved a modification.
The Commissioners will have to APP
prove any change that the traffic de
rector may recommend before it can be
put into effect.
Whatever Is the final decision as to
the method of making left turns, 1t is
the opinion of both Maurice o.
Eldridge, assistant director of traf1c,
and Inspector e. w. Brown IN charge
of the traffic bureau, that there should
be but one uniform rule for both con-
trolled and uncontrolled intersections.
Likewise it is their belief that the
actual presence or absence Of trafhc
officer at police controlled street cross
ings should not result in changing the
left turn method.
Eldridge and Brown both attended q
conference with Traffic Director Har-
land at which the probable modiflca-
ton of the existing left turn was dis
cussed.
Brown said what traffic officials had
in mind at this time is possible modi-
fication of the existing left turn rule at
controlled crossings, SO that cars will
pull to the center of the intersection
and there await change in the lights
instead of waiting for this light change
at the right of the intersection, as Is
now the rule.
Now Confusing.
"At the present time it is confusing
to both visitors and local drivers, I
should imagine" he declared. Just a
few days ago I was in heavy trafdc
and had pulled over to the right as
I knew the crossing was officer con-
trolled and could see the Semaphore
Too late, however, noticed that the
policeman had left his corner to make
an arrest with the result that / had
to pull across two streams OF traffic
In order to turn left"
Nothing definite, however, has been
decided" Eldridge also explained.
There will be nothing done until we
are able to find out what the local
drivers prefer. Primarily we must con-
slider our own peoples wishes rather
than the desires of visitors. OF course
also make driving easier for the tour
lists that is just so much more gained.
