HARD ToTiEFUSE
Among the city elections held last Tuesday was
the proposition at Marshall to aprove a $900,000 slum
clearance project After a hot campaign the voters
rejected the money which had been earmarked for
that city by a margin of let^, than 200 votes
Refusing federal money for worthwhile civic proj-

“In Um citv. collisions at
street intersections where there
are traffic lights are very ran-
When they happen, they are
usually due to flagrant careless-
ness If the signal lights had
not been invented it would be
necessarv to keep officers sta-
tioned throughout the day at
all the principal Intersections
with stop-and-go signs Prob-
ably 50 additional men would
be needed If the Commission-
ers Court finds a practical au-
tomatic signal for use at high-
way intersections many lives
will be saved There are at least
a score of crossings in Dallas
County that can be classed as
death traps Ordinary danger
signs, even when they are light-
ed. seem to make little impres-
sion upon drivers There are in
fact, so manv posters along tbe
country roads that motorists
grow weary of trying to read
them The public has been pret
ty well educated to the use of
red and green traffic signals
The average driver is tn the
habit of observing signals, and
he stops at a red light where-
ever he encounters it A Con-
ner, xl system of traffic lights,
such as we have in the city
limit might not _be practical
for the rural highways, and it
mig i; be expensive, but signals,
operated individually should be
workable At least, they deservo
a trial.”
The precipitation came at a time 1
when the fall grain and the re-
cently planted com were beginning
to suffer serious damage. However,
it is thought probable that the
damage sustained may be largely
overcome by the timely rain, which
