stop sign, was taken into custody
by Sheriff II. S. RooSa.
He was taken before Justice
William H. Snodgrass, Saturday
morning, where he entered a plea
Of guilty and was fined $3.50 and
costs. His fine was paid Saturday
afternoon and he was released.
Jennings, it is reported, drove
through the stop sign at speed

being driven by Mr.. CollinSon
They were driving west on Fifth
st.
The CollinSon car was hurled

The accident, one of many which
has occurred at the Fifth anC
Maple intersection, further EN-
phasiZes the need for a traffic
light there. With two important
highways interSecting there, it is
one of the busiest corners in towr
and many motorists, especially
from out of town, approach il
from both directions at a rapiC
speed.
Drivers will nearly always heeC
a traffic light where they will
often ignore a stop sign. Council
should place a traffic light at the
intersection as soon as one can be
bought.
