Unhappily, justice is far too
complicated for total automa-
tion. The signals do help, but
they cannot give a final answer.
In fact, they are sometimes no
more than a starting point in
the process of telling right
from wrong.

also know that these changes

Unfortunately, these same
people aren’t very realistic
about government They want

business sense is gone
Last year, when the original,
bond issue was proposed, the
fiscal agents for the city de-
termined that it was sound for
the city to borrow approc-
mately. $1 6 million in bonds ,
This was the cost of the f rst
phase under the old progrm,
it was to be paid for by an ipf

taxes.
But the debate over the dan-
ger of inflation — of which the
talk of higher federal taxes is a .
part — could lead many individ-
uals and corporations to think
the present is the time to buy
goods or expand plants, because
prices and costs might rise or
because there’ll be less money <

The immediate problem, how-

- But the pedestrian too had
started across lawfully, on a
green light. The motorist was
held liable for relying blindly
on the signal; not giving the
pedestrian a fair chance to
complete his crossing As one
judge phrased it: -
“A green light is not a com-
mand to go, but only a limited
permission.” 2
In another case a motorist
was held negligent, again in
spite of a green light, for col-
liding with an ambulance. Evi-
dence showed that fhe ambu-
lance had its siren on, that
others heard It plainly, and that
the motorist's window was down
and his radio off.
Nor does a green light beck-
oning in the distance, justify bad
driving in an effort to get there
before it changes.
One motorist, with that in
mind, crowded close behind the
car ahead of him. When the
light changed to amber, the
front car was able to make a
proper stop. But the following
motorist could not Result: a
bad crash, for which the impa-
tient driver was duly held lia-

Just as green doesn't always
mean go, neither does red al-
ways means stop. For instance,
emergency vehicles are often
given the right by local law to
go through a red light.
Yet even this special right is
not clear-cut. Thus it was held
negligent for an ambulance
driver to race through a re
light at a dangerous corner
