'It is essential," says a bulletin issued by the accident pre- vention department, 'that each city study 1ts own problems, and no gen- eral rules can be made that will apply to all cities There are, however, a tew fundamental principles that can be applied to cities regardless of size. * 'Congestion will be relieved in most cities if an effort is made to deliver freight in the early morning hours. in the larger cities the problem of con- gestion would be relieved if office buildings could provide a room where deliveries for the various tenants could be received. This would elim- inate the congestion caused by trucks that must stand on the streets until the driver has delivered all his mer- chandise. "'Another problem is that which is caused by the increase in apartment house building. Apartment houses are for the most part situated on nar- row residential streets, and when there are apartment houses on both sides of the street, the cars of the tenants parked in front of these build- ings leave only a narrow line for pass- ing vehicles. It is seldom that these cars are left standing with lights, and in many instances they are left stand- ing out all night. The building of garages in apartment buildings would eliminate this source of congestion and danger. "The investigation also disclosed the fact that tax payers' money fre- quently is spent with a reckless aban- don on automatic stop lights. There signal lights are useful and are espe- cially helpful to the pedestrian. A good GLASSES that were not made to fit the exact requirements of your eyes may be doing more harm than good.

BERSCH uptometrist 1177 Wilmette Avenue Wilmette Phone for Appointment thing can be overdone, and when we find cities paying more than $2000 for the installation of lights at one inter- section, it is time to inquire if the tax payers might not receive as much benefit from a less expensive light signal. In some circumstances such an expense is essential, in others it is a wasteful use of the tax payers' mon- ey More simplicity in automatic sig- nals will save money and make for greater efficiency. In addition to this, signals should be standardized through- out the country. In some places we now 'go' on the orange light, 'stop' on the green, and 'go' on the red. Other signals which are more logical in fheir operation. tell the motorist to be ready for a change of signals on the orange, 'go' on the green, and 'stop' on the red. When we standardize our lights we shall further the cause of safety, and when we simplify them we shall be able to buy more lights on the money saved and in this way add to the safety of our streets."
