MAYOR URGES
SAFE DRIVING

! Cooperating in a move to cut
down the tremendous loss of life
and thousands of injuries caused
by traffic accidents, Mayor John
T. Rice has issued the following
proclamation calling upon citizens
to exercise the greatest care in
driving their cars and crossing
streets during ths month of Sep
tember.
Last year throughout the United
States 10000 persons were killed
and more than 100000 we're injured
in automobile accidents which oc-
Cured in practically every COM
munity III our country.
Since it is common knowledge
that this record of casualties is
largely due to the misuse of the
streets and highways by too many
drivers and pedestrians, the month
of September has been set aside by
many states as period in which
TO demonstrate just how many
lives and limbs may be saved by
the exercise of more care and con-
sideration on the part of drivers
and pedestrians.
No day passes without many
drivers hurrying through inter-
sections. passing other cars inlpro-
perly. driving at too rapid speed,
or failing in other respects to use
the streets and highways in a safe
manner No day passes without
pedestrians crossing in the middle
of the block. darting out into the
streets from behind parked vehi-
cleS. crossing intersections against
signal lights, and in other ways
using the streets and highways
improperly.
The consequence of such acts
are the deaths and the non-fatal
injuries which occur in our midst
and in every town and city of the
United States. The improper prac-
tices occur at such frequency that
It is impossible for the police or
other authorities to even begin to
cope with the situation, inasmuch
as it is apparent that greater de-
SiCc Vi Sdlcly al liic uoC Va Wi
streets and highways can only be
realized as people, of their own
free will, cooperate among them
selves to that end.
In keeping with the motives of
the countrywide steets and high
way safety movement to be made
in September. l urge upon drivers
and pedestrians alike in this city
to set examples of public conduct
in the use of streets and high
ways which will insure the great
est possible safety. not only for
themselves while they are on the
streets and highways, but for all
others, request that special at
tention be given by the proper Of
ficials of the city in the enforce
ment of laws and ordinances which
have been designed for the pro-
lection of all
