UPON TRAFFIC
REGULATIONS
Chief Powers Asks Cooper.
alton AS Traffic Is
More Dense

Chief of Police Otis Powers to-
day called attention to the fact
that city officers will begin tight
ening up on traffic regulations in
the city.
During the winter months park
ing and other traffic regulations
are not strictly enforced because
there is no great traffic problem,
Chief Powers said, but with the
coming of summer and increased
traffic, officers will begin enforc-
ing all regulations.
Traffic lights will be put in use
about the first of May and officers
will begin checking on parking in
time zones. Chief Powers seeks
the cooperation of merchants and
requests that they and their en-
ployees park their cars on side
streets in order that Main street
may be left for shoppers and Wis
itors. ,
Motorists are cautioned against
cutting corners and officers will
check carefully on this, Chief
Powers said. He also stated that
complaints had been received
about fast driving in the business
section, particularly on the part
of young motorists, and declared
that officers would bear down on
such drivers.
