MANY GASOLINE PUMPS
MUST BE MOVED BACK
THESE ARE THE ORDERS OF
THE STATE HIGHWAY DE-
PARTMENT—ROADS
MUST BE CLEAR
Gasoline pumps erected along the
very edge of improved State High-
ways, have been found to be violat-
ing the State Highway Department’s
recent order that the entire improv-
ed section of highways must be kept
clear for two-way traffic.
The bureau of fire prevention in
the State police, accordingly issued
orders that in the future, no pumps
may be erected within eight feet of
the edge of the improved sections, so
that cars, parking to restock, shall
not be stopping on the improved road
The State, however, has no author-
ity to regulate such matters in bor-
oughs and cities. As the State has
aided in improving many roads thru
boroughs, and pumps are found along
the very edge of the roads in bor-
oughs, Secretary of Highways
Wright sent a letter to the burgess
of 900 boroughs in the State, asking
them, by ordinance, to move pumps
farther back from the road, so that
improved sections shall remain clear
to traffic.
“State highways must be kept
clear for the passage of all vehicles”

this chap, who answers to the name
of Joseph Rutherford, would rather
farm, run a good cantaloupe patch
and hunt with his faithful dog, than
boss the best baseball nine in the
