CITY STREETS IN GOOD STATE FOR TRAVELTO RACE Repairs Made Along Routes to Motor Speedway. Indianapolis streets are in good condition for Speedway race crowds, according to Assistant City Engineer • Arthur Hauffler. The city engineering department has directed forces on roads leading directly to the Speedway for several weeks in order to have city thoroughfares in shape for the thousands of visitors who will be here Monday. Other city streets are in good condition, Hauffler said. Work on Meridian St., which has been widened from thirty-six to fifty-one feet between Pratt and Sixteenth Sts., has been rushed so the street may be opened this week. Finished Thursday W. C. Smith, Marion County Construction Company president, said work should be finished by Thursday noon if there is no more rain today. The Marion County force then will concentrate on W. Michigan St. between River and Holmes Aves. Smith said the Michigan-boulevard intersection would be fixed before Monday. Hauffler recommended these routes to the Speedway: Indiana Ave. to Sixteenth and west through Emrichsville bridge; \v. Washington to Warman or Holmes, north to Michigan and west to Main St. in Speedway City; W. Tenth to Main St. and Thirtieth to Georgetown Rd. and south to Speedway. Final Surrey Final survey of Marion County roads will be made Saturday to see they are in good shape to handle the race throngs, it was announced today at the office of County Engineer Henry Campbell. The roads are in good condition generally, but the survey will be made as precaution. No reports have come to county officials of poor road conditions, despite heavy rains the last two weeks. Sections of road not in good condition will be repaired immediately.

The Tail Light By Swede Swanson

Traffic engineers deplore left turns. They slow up traffic and in many cases tie it up. They can be avoided by forethought. But nothing is worse than a shor.t left turn, mostly at an ungarded corner, in which case the thoughtless driver cuts across to the wrong side of the street and puts himself and others In danger when he enters the cross stree* on the left side. These are the left, turns, even worse than those in traffic, that should be topped. They are symptoms of reckless driving and even if no accident occurs, they should be sufficient cause to jail the driver. A day or so of concerted effort on the part of the police directed at such drivers might deter such practice in the future. Announcement of the appointment of L. J.
