The Wilmington morning star., 1940-07-19

In the volume containing the re-
codified city ordinances presented
yesterday to the city clerk and trea-
surer by Bill Newell, of the North
Carolina League of Municipalities,
recommendations r made for
remedying the present confusion re-
garding stop signs and stop streets.
The league recommended as fol-
lows:
That Market street from Water to
city limits. Third street from Nixon
to Greenfield and Orange street from
Front to Wrightsville avenue be
designated as through stop streets.
That other stop streets be de-
signated as follow:
Red Cross, when approaching
North Fifth east or west.
North Fourth when approaching
Chestnut east or west.
Castle street when approaching
Seventeenth east or west.
Orange street when approaching
Seventeenth east or west.
The league further recommended
that all stop streets be plainly mark
ed by signs. Its recommendations
were based upon a uniform traffic
law recently approved by Attorney
| General Harry McMullen.
The ordinances have not yet been
considered or adopted by the city
commissioners.
The work of recodifying the ordi-
nances, which was done by the
WPA under a project sponsored by
the league, has been under way for
many months. Workers listed in
the ~re-codified ordinances all private
laws which have been passed relat-
ing to Wilmington which are still
operative.
Obsolete ordinances which had
been repealed by more recent ordi-
nances were removed from the book
and all ordinances relating to any
one subject are now grouped and
indexed under one head.
For example all traffic ordinances
can now be found under n head.
The ordinance on parking, for ex-
ample, is carried under the same
head as the ordinances on stop
streets and speed limits.
Some changes which have been
recommended by the league are also
included in the new book.
Before the ordinances, as put into
shape by the league, become effec-
tive, they must be reviewed by the
city commissioners and ratified,
after the ordinances as they now
stand are repealed.
Though repealed ordinances were
removed from the new book, there

Onslow Coroner Thinks
Drowning Was Cause Of
Miss Stroud's Death

JACKSONVILLE, July 18-Coron-
er Timmons Jones said today he is
now inclined to believe that Miss
Mary Stroud, 2~O-year-old Kenans-
vile and Kinston woman, died Tues
day as result of drowning at Browns
Inlet, caused by a strong undertoW
that knocked her down in the water
against some hard object that rem
dered her unconscious. Death was
first attributed to a heart attack.
The o said the young WON
an had a bad bruise on the left side
of the face, and comparatively little
water in her lungs, however, enough
to cause drowning. He speculated
that she might have escaped drown
ing had not she sustained the blow
on the face.

at the Naval Air Station here at
sis p. M. EST.
On the combined pleasure and
business trip, which took him to
the Canal Zone and as far as Cocos
island in the Pacific, Mr.. Roosevelt
acquired a good coat Of suntan,
some new fishing lore and what he
regards as valuable information on
both nearby and distant defenses Of
the Panama canal.
The chief executive drove from
the air station to a special train
waiting to take him to Washing
ton, where he is due late tomor-
row.
His landing at Pensacola was de-
layed several hours by a fog which
set in early this morning and sup
piled the only poor weather during
Is days at sea.
The Presidents arrival here
originally was scheduled for noon,
bu tit was reset several times as
the unusually heavy fog continued.
AS late as 2:30 p. m. naval air
station officers were not certain
whether the Lang, to which the
President had transferred from the
larger cruiser Tuscaloosa, would be
able to come to the dock during
the afternoon.
Then, about $3.50 p. M, the fog
lifted enough for improved visibil.
ity and the Lang sped across the
harbor bar while guns at Fort
Pickens, a coast defense battery,
fired a salute.
Mr.. Roosevelt smiled broadly and
waved greeting to persons on the
dock, and continued his waving to
persons who lined the 10-mile route
to the train. He did not make any
speech.
