Legal Eagles To Test Ordinance DEMOCRAT LARSON REPUBLICAN MACKAY Snorting And Finger Pointing Congressmen Barred From Bill Signing, GOP Miffed Utahs senior Senator Bennett, WASHINGTON, D.C., Sept- ember 10 Early autumn Is settling on the Potomac as the heat of summer Is transposed into the heat of campaigning. UShorter days are signaling longer speeches. Ebbing summers sees an exodus from the nations capital. Some Congressmen and Senators have already left others are preparing now to desert crowded offices and smoke-fille- d rooms for the campaign trail. As Washingtonians settle back for a period of peace and solitude, 1 Is definitely not a period when the political maxim love your friends and damn your enemies can be Ignored. Passage of the Dixie Reclamation project for Southern Utah was curdled a bit for miffed GOP members of Utahs Congressional delegation by what one Senator called a"se-cr- et political ceremony. Helped over the hurdles In the house by Representative Laurance Burton, Republican of Utah, a feat previously unaccomplished, the bill went to President Johnson for his signature after the Senate accepted the House version with some reluctance by Senator M oss, the Democrat whos is up for reelectloil. a Republican.

This did not sit well with A Bush Whens a bit of shrubbery really a fence? Salt Lake County legal officers are bouncing that question around right now, ready to twist existing ordinances to end the dally traffic gamble of countless motorists. Throughout the county, Mother Nature booby-tra- ps atuolsts with foliage, shrubs, trees which block the view into busy intersections. Motorists, their hearts in their mouth, lurch Into traffic unable to see whats coming until theyre already In the danger zone. On the other hand, on busy speeding vehicles play dodge-e- m thoroughfares, darting around motorists who must drive blind Into traffic. The catch Is this: Theres a law against fences built too5' close to the corner of an Intersection or too high. If the view Is blocked, the fence must be removed. But If Its one of natures products and on private property, safety officials must ask owners to cooperate and hope for the best. Some wield the axe Iqr safetys sake, others refuse to wound their landscaping. Captain George Nielsen, Salt Lake Sheriffs Department, says Theres no douDt, blind comers are a hazard. Property owners can help If theyd cut shrubbery on their pro- perty. Chairman of the county commission, C, W. Brady reports that excess foliage on county property Is removed to allow easy vision Into Intersections. And now, he said, the county attorneys office Is studying the question: Whats In a hame? If they can get a judge to agree that a bush Is sometimes really a fence, they might trim traffic hazards by chopping excess shrubbery away from busy comers. Captain Nielsen said the danger will get greater unless property owners cooperate or the law takes a hand. Traffic volume Increased four percent between 1962 and 1963. The next batch of figures Is expected to show an even greater jump for this year. Motorists, who dread the crazy gamble facing them several times a day, need no statistic to make them root for any plan to end their plight.
