Current Comment
ION Varied Events
By Times Writers

III appears more than pas
sing strange that the mea-
sles epidemic in city and coun-
ty continues apace. What with
the health department setups
in city and county. school doc
tors. school nurses, periodic
inspections. the layman would
imagine that such thing could
not be. Is it that cooperation
on the part of parents is lack
ing? That the public has be-
come Indifferent to the pre-
vention programs promulgated
and carried on religiously by
health authorities? Surely,
something has begged down.
When the epidemic reaches
proportions that not one but
many schools must be closed,
it would seem high time to
take severe, if not drastic
measures to curb spread of the
disease. 1t is unfair to expose
every normally healthy child
to a malady that could and
should be checked. 1t is high
time to find out whether more
stringent quarantine measures
should not be enforced. The
public health, especially that
of children in school, should
be our first consideration.
IT'S a pleasure to note that
1 some of the candidates for
city office are putting empha-
sis on the need for city plan
ming. Every resident knows or
should know that lack of real
planning has proved a serious
handicap to the orderly prog
ress of Tacoma. In the matter
of streets and approaches to
the city's center, the lack OF
thoughtful planning is appar-
ent.
Traffic congestion at vari-
Gus points in the downtown
area is serious. Eleventh and
A. the main exit from the tide
flat industrial area, is a situa-
ton in point. With the devel-
opment that is already under
way on the flats, this focal
point for traffic will be still
more congested. Studies on
how to relieve the situation
have been suggested, but as
vet have gotten nowhere. Ex-
tension of A street across the
N. P. depot terminals from
18th to 21st st. has frequently
been suggested, but no action
taken.
Until we make it easy for
traffic to get in and out of the
business district, we shall not
make much progress. AIDE
ouate and responsible city
planning would help solve
many of the present serious
problems.
pARADOXICALLY, the
1 most dangerous traffic in
tersection in Tacoma is the
point at which the state has
erected a monument, if you
can call it that, to safe drlv-
ing. That is the five-way in
tersection at South Tacoma
wav and 18th st.
Within a stones throw Of that
point. the state has established It's
vehicle inspection station, a two
lane affair that can handle lo'ooo
inspections a month.
That there aren't more serious
collisions there may be in itself a
testimonial to present day motor
ing caution: yet because 1t Is an
intersection traversed by thousands
of tourists cars, there's Always
danger.
CITY and state officials should
get together there on installation
of an adequate. modern trafiic
control light on the order OF the
very satisfactory and efficient
light control at SO. 27th and Ia
coma ave.
