DHlLIP CONRAD was a hghter.
4 He had fought his way from a
poor and unknown lawyer into the
spotlight Of publicity and was con-
sidered the Toughest prosecutor
the county had had in years. His
war on crime had brought him
haitering press notices due 10 his
fearless disregard for threatening
letters from the underworld.
When he nrst gave warning that
he would clean ont the dens Of the
rackeieofs his office desk was food

thinking the other party is at fault
in the accident, refuse TO Identity
themselves and drive away. The
usual result is a complaint 10 tho
police and such drivers are brought
into court TO answer 10 the viola
ton. Many drivers also have the
mistaken idea that only law en-
forcement officers may require
that their licenses be produced for
inspection. A motorist involved IN
an accident MUST show his opera
tors license tor the other party. An
other imperative reason for comply
ing with this law is that some ac-
cidents seem slight AT the time and

Many thousands OF minor acct
dents take place every year. A
heavy burden is already carried by
the court and police authorities in

making the streets more safe will

Seek New Highway
AT Port Orchard

PORT NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Of a waterfront highway, which
would eliminate a horseshoe bend
into the business district and pro-
vide a more direct route for traf-
fic, Is being advocated by a group
of Port Orchard citizens and Off
Gals.
Proponents Of the new route
hope to interest the state highway
department in construction of the
traffic lane before the Tacoma
Narrows bridge is completed.
Estimated cost of the project
has been placed at approximately
$50, 900, according to City Engineer
Miles L. Tower. The route would
be along the waterfront north of
Bay St, which would not only
establish scenic drive, but relieve
congestion by handling through
traffic, which is expected to in
crease following completion OF the
bridge across the Narrows.
In addition. hackers Of the plan
assert. easier parking would be
provided for motorists in the bust
