LEGISLATION FOR ,NIKKIS TO BE SOUGHTBY CLUB Hoosier Motor Organization Will Give Drivers Chance to Protest. Are you a motorist grown weary of almost impossible detours? If you are and belong to the Hoosier Motor Club you will be given a chance to register your protest against such conditions, in a straw vote, the result of which will be brought to the attention of the next Indiana Legislature. The ballot Is to be published in the official magazine “The Hoosier Motorist,’’ for November, December and January. It will contain eleven questions bearing upon various traffic problems and give the organized motorists an opportunity to make their desires known, according to Secretary Todd Stoops. A similar expression two years ago brought in thousands of replies. _ t Needed Laws “It is not our idea to load the statute books with unnecessary laws,” Stoops declared, “but to pass Ifctws that are needed, revoke the Pbslete and keep abreast of the times. “At the last session of the Leg-

islature, a bill allowing the State highway commission to maintain detours and keep them in fit condition for travelers was defeated. This cost the motorists thousands of dollars, in property damage.” Whether the motorist Want the detours kept fit is one of the points covered by the ballot. Another is whether or not to permit the construction of bridges of more than twenty-foot span by road contractors. Stoops points out that the twenty-foot limit is too small and that unnecessary delays result while awaiting for bridge builders to do their work, after the paving is completed. \ Favor Temporary Bridges Another proposal is to permit the commission to build temporary bridges across streams, when bridges are being rebuilt or repaired, when the detour is more than two miles long and the traffic more than 1,000 travelers daily. The secretary calls attention to the bridge at Putnamville on the National Rd., west of this city, which has caused a sixmile detour for more than ninety days. “It is estimated that this one detour has cost the motorist more than $100,000,” he contended. Other proposed laws deal with unnecessary delay at isolated crossings, where stop and go signs have been erected, placing of all traffic officers in uniform and on salary basis, and return of all money %>llected from the gasoline tax to the State highway commission. The first Indian pennies bear the date 1859. They were made of nickel and this substance was used until 1864. Since then the cent has been made of bronze.
