TR.-XFTFIC LAWS
CONSOLIDATED

Council Approves Revision
at Meeting Held
Last Night.

Following considerable work on
Howard F. Major, city
ordinances

tion of vehicles in Columbia, have
been consolidated into one. This
lengthy regulation was en its
three readings at last night's coun-
cil meeting.

The new ordinance became ef-
fective when unanimously approved
at lapt night's meeting. The coun-
cil referred thc question of having
digests of the new law printed. to
the ordinance and printing commit-
tees. When these are printed they
will be distribuucd throughout the
city. I

No radical revisions were made
in existing laws in their consoli-
dation, but the readings last night
emphasised anew the necessity of
using proper signals when driving
motor vehicles. When a driver of
a motor vehicle is going to stop he
must signal to those behind by hold-
ing out an arm on a horizontal
plane. If he is going to turn to the

.

to turn to the right
must signal by extending arm up-
ward at an angle from the horizon-
tal plane. In signaling to back up
he must hold an arm up with the
palm of the hand facing back. and
must exercise vigilance at all
times during the move.

The ordinance also coincides with
the,stzite’law which makes it ille-
gal for one vehicle to pass another
at a street intersection. Mr. Major
pointed out that nine out of ten
motor vehicle accidents are due to
disregarding this law.

In Columbia the car on the right
has the right-of-way. ll stop
signs must be obeyed. Mr. Major
pointed out.

‘Bicycles are not allowed to carry
more than one person or eav -
eels. if these make it difficult ,to
.control the wheel. Bicycle riders
may not hold on to other mow’ g
vehicles.

The ordinance also points out that
it- is illegal for wagons and carts
to bells, only for exceptions
noted. The exceptions include
sleighs and carts when snow is on
the groun , the vehicles of visitors
passing fihrough Columbia, and

On the basis of paying feet on the

The time will come when Colum-
bia will provide a school nurse, the
committee says, and adds
“school nurses have been of e
greatest service in connection with
checking the spread of contagious
diseases. in educating t rs in
the care of minor illnesses, and in

committee is a janitor’: work room

For the purpose of further protec-

Bigb School Well Constructed.

The committee‘: investigation of
the high school building shows that

. the building is well construe A
is quite satisfactory frorri a mechan-
;ical standpoint, but that it is
lticeably lacking in those other
things which provide for the special
rposca which should be served by
such a structure.

“In examining this building one

finds a lack of proper shower bath
auditorium
~spacc; a very inadequate gymnasi-
,um; no music room. special study
. balls or special library room we y
of the name; a badly overcrowded
typewriting room; a lack of special
bookkeeping rooms. and no com-
mercial laboratory."

Summing up. the report says:
“Hie high school building, then.
while in good condition as a struc-
ture. is much too small for the num-
bcrof ‘students that must be ac-
commodatcd in the Columbia High
School. and does in contain the
provisiona that are now considered

necessary for, modern high school

work."
