AUTOMOBILES VS.. BUS BILL
Motorists Warned of Measure Be
fore Legislature and Asked to Act

Are you willing to have your
public highways made into 'Pri-
vate Bus Roads 2" asks L. l..
Hopes, Executive Secretary of the
Delaware Automobile Association,
A. M. A., 11th and West Streets,
in an appeal to every motorist in
the State of Delaware to carefully
consider the following facts. A
bill has been introduced in the
House, which if passed, will make
bus owned roads iE Delaware.
This proposed act, known as House
Bill No. 81, puts an unfair burden
on the privately owned motor cars
by giving buses the right to stop
at any place along the road, tieing
up all traffic going in the same di-
rection, while taking on or dis
charging passengers. 1t also pro-
Vides that your car must come to
full stop eight (8) feet behind
the bus any time that the bus
wished to take on or discharge
passengers. In other words, a mo-
torist following a bus must be pre-
pared to come to a full stop eight
81 feet behind this bus any time
that the operator of the bus desir-
es to stop. If the bill would pro-
vide for regular stopping places
where motorist would be given
advanced warning and would be
the bus to stop, this bill
would have different meaning.
In the city, where a trolley car is
operating the motorist definitely
knows that the trolley is likely to
stop just before reaching the
crossing in order to take on or to
its passengers, and he is
prepared to properly handle his
machine. But, on the open road

Smyrna times., 1931-02-25

A start has been made on a
comprehensive plan for a new
and enlarged Dover Green
that will accommodate 4 new
State Capital Building and
buildings toulouse a number
Of Departments Of Govern
ment. The first act introduc-
ed looking forward to this has
been in a bill introduced BY
Senator George McIntire Of
New Castle and calls for the
expenditure Of one million dol
lars (S1,OOO,OOO)) for pur-
chasing the additional ground
and for constructing the Cap
ltol Building. Oother Legis-
latures will have demands
made upon them for funds for
other buildings and equip
ment. If the plans as outlin-
ed are carried out Delaware
will have a model State Build
ing layout and Dover will be
benefited by having some
thing in their town that can

ing sentiment toward the
whipping post in the Diamond
State. The restricted terri
tory allows a quick escape Of
the modern highway robber
into Pennsylvania or Mary
land OF across the river into
New Jersey. Fear of the lash
when a criminal is caught has
proved an effective deterrent
in Delaware's peculiar peo-
situation. Actually
there is no special "crir
problem" in Delaware"

Judge Eugene O'Dunnc, Of
Baltimore. has warned wife
beaters that the Maryland
law presclihes the use of the
lash for their punishment,and
that he is ready to enforce
the penalty. Other States
than Pennsylvania are giving
serious consideration to pro
posals that the whipping post
shall lie set up, as in England,
to punish robbery and other
atrocious crimes.
Meanwhile the repute of
Delaware" says The PhiIadel-
phia Bulletin, Gin retaining
its ancient adjunct of the
States penal laws has echoed

An agitated lady of Berne
who wrote to "the Lord May

ping post was reserved for

hope that corporal punish

continue indefinitely in Della

gether with the two hold-over
members, have the interest of
Smyrna at heart and in their

they will start a sinking fund

pie to give them every en-

where there are no designated
marks and people are taken on and
discharged all along the road, this
bill would place all responsibility
for any accidents occurring on the
motorist, rather than the buses.

some way communicate with their
Senators and Representatives, ask
ing them to vote against this bill,

the recommendations of the
special commission appointed
by Governor C.Douglass Bucl
to advise on the marking oil
the points of historic interest
in Delaware. The First State
has been a laggard in the
work but the suggestion now
comes at a most opportune
time for the undertaking, and
we should like to see the mat
ter under way at any early
date. As already stated, it is
hoped to do part of the work
each year until all the mark
ers have been erected and the
task completed. Two types
Of marker have been suggest
ed and the commission also
recommends that with these
IN place no others be permit
ted without official sanction.
There are about 130 places in
the state regarded as possess
ing sufficient historic interest
to warrant their being desig-
mated and their history relat-
ed as tersely as possible. Nat
urally Wilmington has more
such points than any other Of

sulting in the death of the engine
man and fireman from blazing

No direct blame Is attached to
anyone involved in the tragedy,
although the report says:
"The only element Of safety
lacking was the failure Of the
driver Of the automobile to
have 4 proper realization Of the
absolute necessity, mot only of
materially reducing speed when
approaching q railroad crossing,
but Of paying very close atten.
tiOn to all Of the warning de-
vices In use and of being pre-
pared to stop at any instant"

] FACES CUTS

: Rigid economy being put into
-effect by the War Department to-
ziay had officials at Walter Reed
General Hospital fearful Of heavy
-curtailment of activities at that
Institution.
: Mai. Gen. r. U. Patterson, sur
geOn general of the Army, already
has issued orders stopping further
-enrOllmentS in, the nursing school,
which will result in diScOntinuance
sDf the school in two years, when
The present classes are graduated.
That this will not be the end Of
the curtailment was intimated by
officers of the medical corps to-
Hiay. They expressed fear that
the hospital, which has BEEN the
pride of the department for years
and which has been steadily
growing, will suffer severe cuts in
activity.
General Patterson, in issuing
the orders disseminating the
nurses school, pointed out that
this move would save nearly $50.
000 a year. He said the Army
could get all the trained nurses it
needs from other institutions. The
school was started during the war
and has graduated nearly 1000
nurses since that time. There are
ut present 102 nurses in the
school, all of whom will be per-
mttted to finish training.
