The most outstanding hazard neecding sttention is the inter. section of High and Spring streets. At this point, pars entering the intersection from four directions usually have 10 jockey for s get- away. Pedestrians who are compelled 0 cross the streets have either to wait an unreasonable length of time of run the risk of being injured This is only one of several street hazards to which motorists and pedestrians are subjected on a busy night in Bellefonte. It is not only confusing fo those who come to Bellefonte to shop, but is a gource of slowing up traffic. As proof of this assertion. one moterist declared that it re quired twenty minutes to drive down High street on a recent Set. urday evening. Again, a woman tourist mentioned within our hearing that it was less difficult to drive through city traffic than over the streets of Bellefonte Doesn't all of this prove that several traffic lighis should be installed in Bellefonte. at jeast for part-time service? We believe the friendly gesture with which we welcome folks to our town should be incorporated with a full measure of con- sideration for thelr comfort and safety.
