It would be hard for the people of his day to comprehend the problems of modern day motorists and officers. Even as early as 3S94, just four years after the invention of the automobile, the first auto accident was recorded in the State of Kansas a head-o- n collision between the only two autos registered in that state. Why, we dont know, but we can be sure a iuttle courtesy would have helped avoid this accident. Now, every year the number of vehicles traveling our streets and highwajs has increased: therefore the number of accidents and deaths have also increased. So our lawmakers have found it necessary to pass laws are courtesy-- , tolerance and paand ordinances to insure the tience. safety of every individual.

A better plan would create a sjstem of artery roads around the main area with many feeder routes into the downtown area, he said. He pointed out that it was quite obvious that a greater coordination was necessary between owners of commercial property and adjacent property in creating additional offstreet parking and access roads to modernize the business properties and to create more attractive shopping facilities. lie O Dr. McMurrin will increased 300 over last month and stands 2,300 higher than a year ago according to figuies released by Harvey N.
