No rehtole shall be allowed 10 draw up alongside a vehicle already stand? ing on the same side of the centre of Ihe street. All moving vehicles must be kept to the right hand side of the centre of the street. If anti-turn ordinance Is adopted, make it for all vehicles, and do not permit backing for more than the length of the vehicle. Make speed limit on business streets 10 miles with 8 at intersections, and on other streets 15 miles with 12 at Intersections. Retain present stop at corner or? dinance. Have regulations to apply on Main street from Canal to Rartlette. and os UnSfty street from Sumter to Har vln. Mr. H. A. Moses who appeared be? fore Council Tuesday night said that these suggestions were the OUt come of talk between several "safe and sane" autolsts, those who do not race through the streets and none of whom have ever been arrested for speeding. He said their only object was to help out Council In Its effort to keep the streets clear so that all kinds of vehicles, horse-drawn as w ell as automobiles, would have an easier time on crowded days.

Matters Decided st Recent Meeting? Y. df. C. A. I>oe* not Accept Library. At the meeting of the Civic League Monday afternoon the holding of Tag Day was Indefinitely postponed. The league did this regretfully after ma? ture deliberation as repeated efforts to hold this day had met with fail? ure. Sentiment In Sumter seems to be against this method of raising money so popular elsewhere, for par? ents refused to let their daughters do ths tagging and many ladles refused to take the stands with the girls. The league has had these tags print? ed and if any organisation wishes to make use of them for this game purpose.?raising mon ?y to have a tree expert work on the trees?the league will be glad ?o hand over the tags. Meanwhile all those who have the tags at their houses are requested to send them to Miss \rmlda Moses so that they may be kept together. As Ihe League desires te <i?> something towards work on the Irees It Is con? sidering an entertainment in the form of g moonlight plcalc, mote about which will be heard later.
