: AN EDITORIAL
Needed: Long-Range Thinking For Hagerstown

competent authorities has ever
been assembled to decide what
would be a practical solution. So
nobody knows what the cost
would be.
Councilman Jack Hellane is
constantly pointing out that the
railrOads-whO certainly should
knOw-have some very definite
things in mind, But city officials
have never met with the rail
roads. The railroads are not 60
ing to come running to City Hall
with plans because the railroads,
who literally use our streets on
which to do business for switch
ing purposes, will be expected to
foot their fair share of the under
pass bill.
Early in the present admins
tratiOn the Mayor and Council
visited the State Roads Commits
sion to see how much federal and
state money we could get for such
a project. The answer was vague.
But SO were the ideas of the city
officials. These higher govern
ment agencies are not going to
get excited about such things un-
less they are presented with blue
prints and given some stout ar
guments.
No, we don't have the money to
pay for underpasses this year or
next year. But even if we start
ed actively studying the problem
today, we wouldn't be ready to
build this year or next. And let's
keep these things in mind: such a
project would not have to be paid
for all in one year or two or
three. The solution of the prob
lem could perhaps be carried out
in several progressive steps. And
we don't know how much money
the railroads would put up, along
with the federal and state govern
mentS.
In fact, we haven't very much
of anything to go on right now.
Most everything to date has been
talk, with no accompanying ac-
ton.
Let's get some decisive think
ing and decisive action now.
It's amazing, sometimes, how
much we can do when we put our
minds to it. A previous admin
istration decided to build the
Elizabeth Street underpass. It
took a lot of push to get it, but it
was built-and not entirely at the
expense of city taxpayers.
We have always admired the
way Mayor Mills, once he makes
up his mind to do something, can
usually carry "the balI' to a
touchdown. We feel the under
pass problem should be chal-
lenge to his ability to get things
done, or at least to get things
started.

TRAVEL is FASTER
BY BUS TODAY

Twenty years ago it took about
half hour longer to travel by bus
from Hagerstown to Baltimore and
in 1880 travel by bus from Hageps-
town to Pittsburgh required 8 hours
and IS minutes as compared with the
present schedule of hours and so
minutes.
This was shown last week by Ed
Rooms, general traffic agent for Blue
Ridge Bus Lines who happened to
uncover Blue Ridge Bus schedule
dated May 30, 1880.

The Mayor and Council hopes that
the Hagerstown Retailers Bureau
will stage another July 4 fireworks
display at Reservoir Park this year.
On recommendation of Councilman
Jack Hellane, the matter was put
on record the other day.
A lot of motorists Including us)
wish that police authorities - city,
county and state - would do some
thing about youngsters driving BIZ
cycles after dark without lights.
The law on the matter is quite
clear
It's no fun to try to slow down
when suddenly coming upon bike
without lights on dark street or
highway.
While on the subject of traffic,
here's one for Councilman "Piney"
Elliott For a long time he's been
trying to solve the problem of
blinking yellow lights in city traf-
fic signals when the fire alarm
sounds. Out-of-town motorists don't
know they are to stop when the
yellow lights blink and it's impos-
sible with the present system to
make the red signals blink
A couple towns we drove through
enroute to Akron a couple weeks
ago solved this problem by install
ing red lights in place of the amber.
In other words, the traffic signals
there switch from red, to red, to
green, etc. And during fire the
middle red blinks instead of the old
yellow.
Don't know about the legal as
poets of this, however.
Those three big trees in the park
ing lot just outside the gates at
Municipal Stadium had q close call
last week.
City officials had considered cut
ting them down to make room for
more parking and to permit freer
movement of traffic on the parking
lot.
However, the Mayer and Council
decided to leave the trees as they
are. The trees, the officials felt,
would save some windshields that
might otherwise be smashed by
stray baseballs.
The breakdown on enforcement of
the county dog license law here,
coming as it did during the more
spectacular Keefauver crime investi-
cation, provides some food for
thought.
Here's what we neon.
If a minor thing like dog license
program can be SO neglected that
over 1000 people don't buy dog tags
when they should, how simple it
can be for neglect to creep into those
phases of government-local, state
and national-that are so much more
important.

answer would be eyes but :"

may appear strange and out Of

If there is more than one piece
of furniture in light wood in a
room furnished in dark wood.
