Originally this authority was conferred only upon the Secretary of Highways and cities of the first, second and third class. Creation of such high- ways is quite as complete a traffic control at intersections as erection of automatic signaling devices, and the penalty for violating the. provi- sion is just.as severe,” said Motor Vehicle Commissioner Eynon today.

Wolf was overcome by smoke and heat fighting the fire, and a visitor on the farm, Andrew Loy, eighty-three, of Perry Co., was hurt when struck by a falling ladder. Both were recovering late Friday night.
