How would Detroit or Minneap-| olis or Reattle enjoy having their | mayors appointed by a resident of | Northampton, Mass., and their| boards of aldermen elected exclu- sively outside their own states?| Washington enjoys it exactly that, well, | oilist 8 Once on a time, when the capital was just a little cluster of shacks on the Potomac flats and the rest of the country was chipping in to! build it up into a fine city, the pres- | | ent arrangement doubtless was all right, But now the Washingtonians fecl as if they were of age and would Iike to vote, at any rate, on | purely local ‘questions, and have omething to say ahout the taxes they pay and various other ‘things | | that concern them a good deal more | than they concern anybody else. | . . | What they want and what they are likely to get, however, are two | entirely different propositions.

What is the result, the pro- | tests are ignored on such and such a ground the buflding is erected and | beautiful Belvidere is a few notches | down in books. Just now the con- troversy is a gasoline station. Signa- tures are being affixed to a written protest, with the Lord only knows what outcome. That does seem | funny, doesn’t it? Now as a citizen and taxpayer o that section 1 am taking the liberty to turn over a page in this so-called farce and endeayor to show the serious, and perhaps sad side of this | question: Our home 8 situated on | the west side of Stanley street just | one block before the snd of the car line, and while sitting on my veran- | da I have made it a point to watch | traffic go by. Stanley street as a| main highway is particularly nar- row especially with a ear line going | through it. People trading at the various stores on the east side of the | street near the trolley terminus drive | up in cars and park on both sides of the street. Tf the trolley is not there trafic Keeps on fust the same, but suddently it arrives and stops thera for a while which fills| up the center of the road, Now the road curves a few hund foet | south of Francls street 80 that north- | bound traffic is unaware of the trol- | ley and parked cars near neis | street until they are almost there | and cars going at a fast clip, which | they*usnally do at this point must | put on their emergency brakes or| a collision is inevitable. On numer- | ous occasions when in the house, T have heard the griding of brakes and going out would find just a situation, | viz, the trolley in the road, | irked cars on hoth sides opposite | the stores and traffic rounding the | curve, Bear mind dear reader | that Belvidere has lost one of fts| worthy citizens by being killed by an auto when emerging from a trol- jey at this point. T refer to the late Mr. Allen. We do not want an- other such occurrence. So instead of trying to allevlate the congested traffic situation at this point our city fathers are only en- couraging it by permitting the gaso- on to be removed from its present site near the Normal school to the most congested part of Stan- ley strect, Belvidere, which will only allow for more parked cars or more congestion and hecome a menace to | pedestrians especially to the child. | Children being sent to the are | unaware of approaching autos from the south owing to that curve and it | od a miracle that mote acel- | do not occurr here. T myself | several occasions on going line sta store in dents have on from gtore started to cross the road only to get a glimpse of the approaching auto rounding the ¢ through its headlights at night through sound in the daytime, a child is not so wary So, as a mother, T enter my protest here and now. I want my children safeguarded instead of sacrificed to a mercenary idol. 1t the gasoline station if a detriment to the Normal school and its occupants, so is it a detriment to us and our children | who live nearby.
