THE PANTAGRAPH, BLOOMTNGTON, ILLINOIS, SATURDAY, SEPT. SO, 1950. Wounclecf In Korea Logan Voters to Face Peoria Area Has 'Choice1 Accident Spots Morton Drive For 16,000 Opens Today Proposals 1 -1' LONESOME ROAD By all laws of logic a straight, smooth stretch of highway like this should afford safe travel on a bright Autumn afternoon. State police say, however, that many of the state's worst accidents are on straight roads in clear weather. 'V-otV'H inois Deaths Central FIVE City's Industry 'Crush1 Not Only Collision Factor This is the third in a series of articles on hiahtcay safety.

It concerns state police district no. 8, composed of Woodford, Tazewell, Peoria, Marshall, Fulton, Putnam and Stark counties. Editor, BY GENE SUIT Writer PEORIA The great crush of traffic to and from Peoria's in dustries creates a high accident fotential on highways extending nto Woodford and Tazewell counties. But the record books of po lice district No. 8 are dotted with reports of bloody accidents in no way connected with Peoria or in dustrial traffic.

This fact is emphasized in a re view of the district's leading dan ger points by Capt Jack Lindeen, commander of districts 6, 7 and 8. Listed as areas of "high accident frequency" are routes 24, 116 and 150 for distances of from four to eight miles out of East Peoria. Particularly bad is 150 which passes through a series of hlrhway villages and other residential areas extending almost to Morton. The intersection of routes 24, 116, and 150 at East Peoria is "natural" as an accident setting, according to Capt. Lindeen.

Another danger area, hardly at tributable to Peoria industrial traffic, is the section of route 116 between Roanoke and Metamora. In 1949 this seven mile section was the scene of 21 crashes, three of them fatal. Route 51 from Minonk south to the lower leg of route 116 also is a trouble area. Although he believes speed probably is the leading accident cause, Capt. Lindeen has a list of complaints against other driving habits that promote highway crashes.

"Racing" Hazardous The first is against youthful ra cing enthusiasts who emulate fa vorite stock car race drivers on their way home frqm the four tracks in district 8. Another complaint is against certain school bus drivers who fail to give proper warning before stopping on the highway. "They hit their brakes and throw out the warning sign at the same time." he says. Besides giving ample warning, Capt. Lindeen believes drivers should make stops off the pave ment whenever possible.

Grievance number three is against farmers who take to the highways on unlicensed, poorly lighted tractors. "I definitely think there should be some regulation of farm implements using the highways." he says. At present a tractor operator doesn't even have to own a driver's license. Wants Speed Law As accident reducing measures. Capt.

Lindeen suggests a state speed law and "more serious adjudication" of traffic cases by jus tices of the peace and police magistrates. Letting offenders olf with minimum fines is no way to teach respect for the law, he says. Finally, in keeping with the wholesale reorganization of the state police force instituted by Governor Stevenson, Capt. Lin deen proposes completion of a plan to remodel the officer's uni form, i 'I believe it would have a good effect on traffic control to put our men in redesigned uniforms and say, 'Here are your new officers under a new system. Just try to fool with them." Plant now for flowers next King Alfred April.

One proposed bond issue calls for $60,000 for repairs to the courthouse, including the dome roof and electrical wiring, and the other, for $60,000, for repairs and extension of the county jail and boilers for the heating plant. State's Attorney Edwin C. Mills explained legal opinions given on the proposed bond issue. The ballots will show that a tax of 1.3 cents per 100 dollar valuation would be asked. The bonds would be retired in sevemyears, the first of a series of $10,000 for each issue to be paid in 1952.

Interest rate is not to exceed three per cent and it was indicated that the rate would be less than that figure. The board rescinded a prior resolution adopted Sept 14 consolidating the proposals in one issue of $120,000. Mr. Mills and Bernard C. May-berry, assistant state's attorney reported that the office of the at torney general had indicated that the office of supervisor of as sessments be held status quo until the Supreme Court rules on a pe tition for rehearing filed Friday.

The attorneys also said they had learned that a special session of the legislature may be called in November to consider a re-nlacement bill for the supervisor of assessments. For the present there is only one employe, paid by the county, Mrs. Irma Fulk, secretary in the local office. The supervisor of assessments, George Cuileton is paid by the state.
