STOP   SIGNS AND  WHY   SO
MANY
m
•_nw_.	
There have been a lot of com-
pdaints because cars do not stop
att this corner or that corner
when you think they should. We
have had several accidents and
near-accidents at various intersections.
We believe Stop Signs are the
answer. .Several additional streets have been designated as
Stop streets and Stop signs
placed at these intersections. Intersection accidents are caused
by someone not stopping because he thought he had the
right-of-way. Now that the Stop
signs-are up we would appreciate the cooperation of everyone in "observng them. 'We will
do our best to enforce them..
