Taxpayers Committee Evolves
Drainage Plan Requiring
Land Condemnation

A plan to solve the drainage diff
culties on the south side bottom lands
has been evolved by the citizens COM
mittee called in by the city commits
sion. 1t will entail an expense Of
about $4,000. Other plans submitted
to the commission, Of a more perlna-
nent character, ranged from $201 900
down to $4,000.
The plan is to drain the surface
flow from the city-which at present
In heavy rains and thaws flood the
Will. Wachter and Garske tracts-by
means of a ditch on the north and
east side of the Will nursery. George
Will is agreed to accept this relief
from conditions which led the Will
Seed company to give warning of le-
gal action against the city for DAM
ages if the nursery were flooded again
and no attempt was made to drain off
the waters.
The ditch will involve an i'm
pounding arrangement, as a dam,
and the site for this is to be on the
Garske tract, according to the plan
of the committee. This will involve
condeming a sufficient acreage Of the
Garske land to provide an impound-
ing site.
This plan will be far cheaper than
attempting the permanent sewer ad-
ditions and the Is and 10-acre dams
originally proposed as a remedy. 1t
also is cheaper than sustaining law
suits like that of Louis Garske last
year, in which the city was forced to
pay $3.50.
Formulation of the detailed plan
will be left to r. r. Atkinson, city en-
gineer. The committee merely sug-
gested the idea in the rough. On the
committee were Robert Webb, John
Peterson. N. o. Ramstad, H. j.

COURT UPHOLDS
POLICY HOLDER
Rules Motorist Is Entitled to
Protection, Although He
Violates Traffic Laws.

Notwithstanding his violation Of
traffic laws, contrary to the terms Of his
insurance policy, motorist Is never
theless entitled to be protected under
his policy, according to a decision just
rendered by the Supreme Court of Mich
igan. and reported by the American
Motorists Association.
In the case decided by the Michigan
Supreme Court the motorists insurance
policy contained this provision There
shall be no liability under the terms Of
this policy unless the driver shall COM
ply with the State and municipal laws"
The motorist was involved in an acct
dent, was sued, and the insurance COM
pany denied liability under the policy,
alleging and proving at the trial that
the motorist was exceeding the speed
limit and was driving on the wrong
side of the street
The lower court sustained the con-
tention of the insurance company, and
ruled that the provision, being in the
policy, was binding on the motorist.
The case was appealed. The Supreme
| Court reversed the decision. pointing
out the difficulties of motorist operat-
ing his car without some violation Of
| the multitude OF rules and regulations
enacted by municipal ordinances. TO
| hold that every violation of the law
would void a motorists policy and thus
relieve the insurance companies of LA
| bility, the court declared, would be
untenable.
1T may we'll be doubted whether an
instance of negligent injury can be i'm
agined in the operation of a motor
vehicle on highway which does not
involve a violation of the law" the
court declared. ITO sustain the insur-
ance company's contention that it Is
relieved of liability because of an in
fraction of some municipal ordinance
would mean that the whole public liza
bility phase of insurance policies be-
comes practically sham and the coll
lection Of premiums therefor a virtual
fraud on the motoring public"
The decision, it is pointed out by
Thomas j. Keefe, general manager Of
the A. M. A., is of importance to every
motor car owner, because of the fact
that many automobile insurance poll
cieS contain like provisions.

SPEED-UP FORESEEN
IN HIGHWAY BUILDING
Work fastened by Federal Appro-
priation Authorized by Congress
Is A. A. A. Prediction.

Highway construction throughout the
country will be speeded-up to the ex-
tent Of 100000, 900 o year under q bill
increasing Federal aid appropriations
from $75,000,000 to $125,000, 900 an
nually, passed by Congress and sent to
President Hoover for approval, accord
ing to the American Automobile Asso-
citation.
The national motoring body pointed
out that while the increase Is only
$50, 000, 900 annually, this amount must
be matched, dollar for dollar, by the
States, and q number have held up
their highway programs anticipating
this added Federal assistance.
The measure represents q compromise
between the Senate and the House with
regard to q provision limiting the per
mile expenditure of Federal funds. At
present the limitation is $4,000 per
mile, and under this new legislation the
States where the per cent system has
been completed.
Connecticut, Rhode Island, Maryland,
Delaware, Massachusetts and New York
are among the States now eligible to
receive the $4,000 per mile, enabling
the building of higher type roads, the
association declares.
Although this important legislation
has been held up in Congress since
January" says the statement, President
Hoover's interest in the speeding-up of
construction indicates that it will be
speedily approved at the White House.
Moreover, administration leaders have
already acclaimed this measure as one
of the accomplishments of the Presi-
dents flrSt year in office.

HAND SIGNAL IS HELD
BEST HIGHWAY GUIDE
Auto Dealer Believes It Excels All
Other Devices as Safety Factor
in Motoring.

Recognizing the progressive steps
taken in all forms of traff1c control and
In mechanical signaling devices Of vari-
Gus kinds, Oscar Coolican, local auto
mobile dealer. calls attention to the fact
that all authorities are agreed that
nothing yet has been invented or inSti-
tuted which takes the place Of the mo-
torist's hand signal.
THE giving of adequate signals by
hand still Is an essential function OF
any driver who is to be termed a care
full one" Mr.. Coolican says. Great
forward strides have been taken, admit
tedly, in methods of traffic control, in
safety and signaling devices, but there
is no question in the minds Of all au-
thorities on traffic that the hand signal
remains a vital part of the drivers code.
Failure to give adequate signals is
declared by virtually all well informed
observers of traffic to be one Of the pri-
mary causes for traff1c delay and acct
dents. Unless the driver makes clear to
other motorists on the street and high
way precisely what his next move is to
be, trouble Of one form or another is
bound to ensue.
LAS indicated, that trouble can take
two forms. 1t can, in extreme cases,
result in a fatal accident or an accident
of serious proportions. On the other
hand, it is almost bound to bring about
condition Of congestion. not only In
that immediate spot, but, in the case Of
crowded thoroughfares, perhaps blocks
to the rear of the offending driver.
THE automobile is a mode of individ-
ual transportation. That is its great,
compelling appeal. Being individual
istic, 1t demands individual attention.

GLASS CUT HAZARD
WILL Be REDUCED
A. A. A. Head Predicts Uni.
VerSaI Use of Non.Shat.
tering WindshieIds.

Pointing out that flying glass Il one
of the most prolific causes Of motor
injuries, Thomas p. Henry, president Of
the A. A. A., predicts the universal use
of non-scattering glass in automobiles,
buses, trucks and other forms Of mobile
transportation.
I'm my judgment" said the A. A. A.
executive, "the advent Of non-scattering
glass is the biggest single contribution
to safety in recent years. Eliminate
entirely the injuries due to flying glass
and you will reduce the injury toll at
least SO per cent"
Lauds Pioneer Builders.
Henry paid a warm tribute to the
manufacturers who pioneered the move
ment to make American cars safer We
hicles to ride in. He said:
THE fact that more cars are coming
out every year with non-scattering glass
as part Of their standard equipment,
while an additional number offer 1t as
special equipment, indicates that the
leading manufacturers are fully alive
is no doubt as to the public response,
nor can there be any doubt as to the
trend Of the future.
THE tremendous increase in the
number Of closed cars, together with
the need for Q clear vision In all DE-
rections, has made the problem one
Of even greater importance. In 1919
only 1913 per cent Of the cars built
were Of a closed type, while in 1928 the
number had jumped to S8.5 per cent
At the present time 1t Is safe to say that
more than 80 per cent Of the automo-
biles built are entirely surrounded by
glass.
Repeated surveys have been made to
injuries. One of these, covering rs
States, developed that IS per cent were
attributable to glass. In this particu-
lar instance, the conclusion reached
was that II non scattering glass was In
general use, the number Of persons In
jured each year in motor accidents
would be reduced by some $50, 900. 1t
is safe to say that on the basis Of this
and other surveys, fully one-haf OF
the injuries from automobile accidents
are due to flying glass.
Safety Field Challenges Country.
1.-THE entire field Of safety is one that
challenges the best thought Of the coun-
try. with the congestion on the high
ways and road-builders being pushed
by the car builders, we must take adj
vantage to the limit of every safety
device that engineering science can de-
.velop. Now that non-scattering glass Is
available in quantity and at reasonable
cost, its general adoption Is likely to
follow the course Of other car improve
ments, such as four wheel brakes,
shock absorbers, air cleaners, oil filters
and many other features now in gen.
eral use"

HUMAN BODY USED
IN TEST OF AUTOS
Muscular and Nervous Fa.
tigue Registered by Passen-
gers Aids Scientists.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the ASSOCIATED Press.
The human body is being used to
gauge the riding qualities Of automo-
bileS.
Muscular and nervous fatigue of
passengers, stored In their bodies by
joltS and vibrations of cars in long
rides and translated into graphic charts
by instruments. are giving scientists the
first real index to relative automobile
comfort.
DR.. Fred A. Moss, George Washing
ton University psychologist, heads re-
search of the Society Of Automotive
Engineers, which aims ultimately to
provide for automobile manufacturers a
standard test to measure the effects OF
shock absorbers, springs, cushions and
other aids to comfort.
Students Aid in Tests.
College students and taxi drivers are
the laboratory material. Their main
job is to get tired and to submit to
tests which measure their fatigue.
Developed to measure body sway. long
known to be a mark Of nervous fatigue,
sensitive "wabblemeters" chart the eff
forts Of a subject to balance on q
tiny platform.
A perfect score is a straight line.
while fatigue is reflected in exaggerated
wiggleS OF two pens which marx every
motion and, though indirectly, record
the behavior Of q car over o rough
road.
Now students will be taken for rides
in cars fitted with an accelerometer, Q
device which registers the sum total Of
the bumps on q ride by the amount OF
gas generated in q glass tube. The
jolts as shown by the instrument will
be checked back on their effect In
making the passengers tired.
Brother Conducts Tests.
DR.. Moss, while supervising the work.
has turned over the actual operations
to his brother, Ralph Moss, who will
carry the tests through to completion.
When tests have been developed the
scientists hope to have measurements
which eventually can be made available
to test stock automobiles for riding
qualities.

NEW BRUNSWICK CURBS
USE OF CARS IN SPRING
Restriction Is Placed on Speed and
Weight of Autos in
Province.

Growth of the use of automobiles for
business purposes in New Brunswick
and the demand for uninterrupted use
of the motor roads of the Canadian
Province has resulted in an order be-
ing issued by D. A. Stewart, minister
Of public works, whereby, instead Of the
roads being closed to motor vehicle
traffic this Spring, certain definite re-
Strictions will be in force during the
period the frost is coming out Of the
ground.
Replacing the complete ban on motor
vehicle traffic during the early Spring
season, a speed limit of 20 miles per
hour will be definitely enforced during
this period, and traffic will be restricted
to passenger vehicles of registered
weight not exceeding 5000 pounds and
to commercial vehicles and trucks Of q
gross combined weight of vehicle and
load not exceeding $500 pounds Heavier
vehicles will not be permitted to be OPP
Grated on the provincial highways dur
ing the time the restrictions are in
force, but these restrictions will be lifted
as soon as weather and road conditions
make this advisable in the opinion of
the engineers. Motor vehicles which do
not come within the scope of the per-
mission granted by the order will be re-
fused admission to the province during
the restricted period at interprovincial
and international boundary points.
