GIVE PEDESTRIANS
HIGHWAY RIGHTS
Bv e. e. Duffy

Two million motor cars are being
added each year to the automobile
registration list, yet pedestrianism
is still with us. This fact seems to
have been lost sight of, although a
few cities and other communities
are giving the pedestrian the con-
sideration he deserves. Los Angeles,
for instance, has built some 40 ped
estrian tunnels which permit foot
traffic to pass under the jammed ar
teries. Such thoughtfulness, how
ever, is rare.
In large cities many streets have
been widened for motor traffic sim
ply by cutting back the sidewalks.
In some instances this has been a
sacrifice on the part of foot traffic
and right here it might be mention
ed that more than half of the thou
sands of automobile casualties are
perpetrated among the ranks of
pedestrians. 1t is no more than log
ical therefore that the growing de-
mand for sidewalks along rural
highways be given Immediate and
constructive attention.
Supporters of rural sidewalks
along highways, the most active be-
ing the American Society for NUM-
cipal Improvements, contend that
sidewalks should be provided near
rural schools and near cities, towns
and villages along the way. So far
only a few communities have given
this matter any attention at all.
Among the notables are Allegheny
County, Pa, and Wayne County,
Mich.
Unfortunately, few state highway
departments are authorized to build
rural sidewalks; the provision of
this facility now rests for the most
part with the local community. How
ever, it is likely that when various
states adopt indicated pavement
programs some provision may be
made for the installation of country
sidewalks, which add but little to
the total cost.
The first question that arises is
the practicability of spending money
for such construction when so many
miles of roads need paving. That, of
course, is a question for the COM
munity itself to answer. Automobile
accident figures are not growing
any less; in fact, they are Slightly
increasing. Obviously, if money can
be made available, where pedestrian
protection is needed, there should be
no hesitancy as to the course of ac-
tion.
The ideal situation would be, of
course, for state laws to be passed
requiring the construction of side
walk along the pavement passing a
schoolhouse or approaching town,
city or village. If it is felt that the
state itself cannot do this, provision
should be made permitting the To-
cal community to provide such fa-
cility. Missouri passed a law as long
ago as 1919 making it legally pos
sible for sidewalks to be constructed
as adjuncts to paved highways with
the cost prorated to the property
abutting on the road. Strangely, this
law was not taken advantage of un-
til 1928 when Jackson County let
contracts for a sidewalk.

The auditors in commenting on
the comptroller's report had this to
say! .
zone of the outstanding features
in the exhibit of the county comp
troller's report this year is the great
gain in the amount of money recelV-
ed from the work of prisoners. Last
year the amount reported was only
SSO.72 as against $428.63 this year.
This sum equals the receipts from
this source for the four preceding
wears. The reason for this great
difference is a question which we
think will NATURAL yarise in the
minds of most taxpayers"
1--WE note that a night watchman
for the Court House building mas
been employed at salary OF $40 per
month. or 5000 a year but we are
also informed that he is not equip
DeQ WlLn WdICluleeh SAO-' ~
consequently there can be no assur-
ance that he is awake and on duty
every hour of the night. We re-
snectfulIy suggest that this officer
he at once, furnished with an ap-
proved watcbman's clock. Further
more. a reduction in the insurance
rate and cost, will be allowed II an
annroved watchman's clock is used
by the watchman.
"The new indices system now pc
ing made in the county othces Is
helping to swell the cost of their op-
Grafton to the extent of about nVe
thousand dollars a year.
In previous reports we have Deeh
recommending that the State take
over all county roads and we again
urge this course. The comptroller
records show that road equipment
cost last year $1O,SSS4.87. Road
supervisors were paid $9,S29.lO. me
county engineers office cost the
county about $4,000. In addition TO
these items, there was expended 1or
roads. in the ton districts OF Kent
county, S9O,O82.77, or a grand total
of s120. .296.74. We think the state
couid handle this work at much less
cost. NJ. Doro-

is laying plans for the 200th an
niverSary. Truro Parish was
formed in 1882 by special act of

church were allowed to hold office
or to vote, in the Old Dominion.
The anniversary will be cele-
brated in 1882 in conjunction
with the celebration of the 2OOth

Church, which was established as
a more conveniently located relig-
ious center than old Falls Church
