Editor Globe:
One of the dangerous places in refer
ence to traffic in Hagerstown is the
entrance to the market house, either
from the Franklin lstreet or Church
street side. While it is one-way traf-
fic avenue, it is true, yet it is far from
satisfactory to either automobile drivers
or pedestrians. On busy morning pc
destrians going to and from the market
house about fill the street. 1t makes it
difficult for automobilists and persons
with market stalls find it necessary to
drive to and from the two entrances on

THEY TELL US

Editor Globe:
During the past two years I have
noticed school children assigned to the
task of traffic directors at street cross
ings in the vicinity of the public schools.
1t is the duty of the traffic officers to
direct their school mates across the
streets at the proper time, thus elimin-
ating danger of accidents.
We are prone to criticize that which
we dislike, and seldom commend worthy
actions and deeds. In my opinion this
system and plan of the school children
is one of great merit, and likewise one
of the finest ideas ever inaugurated in
the public schools of Hagerstown. I do
not know whose idea it is, but it's a.
good one, and the school children and
those responsible for it are to be highly
commended.

Supreme Court Refuses
Review Of PWA Loans

Washington, D. c. (ILNS)-Th The
supreme court said, in effect, that
the heirs of Williams Waldorf Astor
must pay an estate tax of S10,S10,856
in the $46,421,545 left to his sons,
John Jacob and Waldorf, second This
case has been in litigation for years.
The lower federal court upheld the
levy, and the supreme court refused
to review the case.
In the same manner, the supreme
court gave at least new lease of life
to the law which allows the public
works administration to loan money
to municipalities for the construction
of publicly owned power plants. The
Alabama Power Company was con-
testing loans and grants to seven
towns in Alabama, which plan to put
in their own distributing systems and
buy power wholesale from IVA. The
Texas Utilities contested loan and
grant to the town of Plainview, Texas.
The lower courts held against the
power companies, and the supreme
court refused to review them. But
this action, it should be said does
not affect the suit of the Duke Power
Company, striking at the same line
of loans.
