I Left Turn Has*rd I* Ceuw of Accident (Continued from first pagto) " 4 " T" Mayor McCorkle ha* bo far turned & deaf ear to the suggestion but ht the1 face of the rapidly increasing traffic, anticipated when the w*r maneuvers get uuder wlty, it may be necessary *q take Borne action favorable u> the police suggestion. Several morchanta have declared that the hazard at the corner can be controlled if the police on duty will take aumraary action against all motorists as well as pedestrians. An alert policeman at the corner can soon control the drivers if he exercises his police power to extract a tine from every motorist who violates the regulations. Another complaint which may reach the city in the form of a petition involves the uncalled for noise of open cutouts, horn blowing and speeding on Broad street. Property owners and I residents of Broad street from the I Seaboard railroad south are up la 1 arms over the manner in which trucks I and cars are permitted to operate I over this street. j A Chronicle representative made I a survey several evenings ago and I this survey showed that trucks and I cars going south begin to hlt-a-high-fl speed after crossing the railroad I tracks and maintain it until near the city laundry. Heavy trucks make a 11 street and roar up with cutouts wide I stret and roar up with cutouts wide I open. The same is true of trucks go- I lng north when hitting the grade I from Chesnut street north. j j In a home near Green street the I very pictures on the wallB and brie a 11 brae on a fire place trembled as the I j dwelliing vibrated from the pounding I of a heavy truck roaring up the grade I j north-bound. H In as much as the army is establish- I j lng a . hosiilt^l on Broad street near H Chesnut an^i ivill also make extensive IJ use of the Green street intersection, It H may be necessary for the police to 11 wage a quick war on motorists who I, violate the noise and speed ordl-1 j nances. -fl HAIGLAR?Monday and Tuesday 1 ??
