failed to teach them anything

Unnecessary Stops

BY DON GARDNER

LANSING, Jan. 12-Twenty-fivs
per cent of the traffic lights on
state trunk lines are useless as the
result of gasoline rationing and
will be eliminated at once. High
way Commissioner Lloyd B. Reid
announced today.
Providing county road commits.
sions and municipalities follow suit,
every one of Michigan's motorists
will save full months supply Of
gasoline now being burned UP

"The operations of the balance

"Our surveys show every stop

one thirty-second of a gallon OF

wear on tires, brakes and ma
chinery.
"The average passenger car
will travel 5000 miles this year

over 500 unnecessary stops for

TRANSFER PLANNED
Only eight per cent of Detroit's
500 traffic lights can be safely
eliminated. Reid believes. The de-
cision rests with the city govern
