TOLL BRIDGE COMMISSION ORDERS CHANGE Calhoun St. Bridge Traffic Control Put On New Timing System In Morrisville Operation of the traffic light at Calhoun St. Bridge at its Morrisville terminus has been changed again, following a trial period, according to an operations order issued by William R. Johnson, executive director of the Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission. The new order calls for the light to be controlled manually by the bridge police officer on duty during the peak traffic hours which have been established as from 7 a.m.

until 9:15 a.m. and from 3:30 p.m. until 6 p.m. At all other times the light will be operated automatically. order indicates the commission changed from fully automatic method of controlling the traffic light following a conference with Trenton Mayor Arthur J.

Holland. Change Timing Johnson said the automatic operation will be modified from the present 70 seconds for the bridge and 20 seconds for River Road and Delmorr Ave. to a ratio of 49 to 29 seconds. The longer period being for the bridge and the shorter period for the intersecting road. An additional six seconds will be utilized for the amber warning signal to operate in both directions, making up the 90-second cycle for the operation.

Johnson said during the trial i alternate routes, mainly River period, when the light was being operated fully automatically, it was indicated that impact on traffic flow created by the closing of Delmorr Ave. between Bridge and Trenton coupled with construction of the sanitary sewer system in both Yardley and Lower Makefield Township, have tended to encourage frequent users of the Calhoun St. Bridge to use Road between Yardley and Morrisville. This has resulted in a heavier traffic flow on River Road, than the road normally he noted. He noted the commission conferred with Donald Henderson, acting director, division of traffic engineering, New Jersey State Highway Department, to aid in establishing the new automatic-timing ratios.

Johnson Police Find Stolen Car In Canal A car stolen from Trenton during the night was found stripped and half sunken in the Canal near Mt. Eyre and Taylorsville Roads early this morning. Sgt. John Rice, Lower Makefield Township PoUce, reported that he received a call from the police dispatcher about an accident at the canal but upon investigation found the car had been stripped and apparently pushed into the canal. It was resting half submerged in the waters, he said.

Rice said the transmission, manifold, instruments, heater, radio, and other parts had been taken from the car before it was abandoned. Rice said tire marks indicate the thieves tried to push it with another car but a pole impeded them. He said investigation revealed the car was owned by Mrs. Jean Nolan, of 103 Lee Trenton. She told Rice her son had parked the car at the corner near her home shortly before 11 p.m.

last night and did not know the car was missing until po ice informed her this morning. The Days Of The Revolution Auxiliary Sets Fashion Show A fashion show sponsored by the Morrisville Baseball Auxiliary will be presented Sept. 13 at 8 p.m. in the American Legion Home, W. Bridge St.

The show will feature Queens Ways clothes demonstrated by Bernice Small, door prizes and refreshments. Tickeas may be secured by the public from Mrs. Joyce Woolf at 351 Crown Mrs. Loretta Hefley of 513 Prospect Ave. or from any team captain.

noted that the traffic light at the intersection of Calhoun S. and W. State at the Trenton terminus of the bridge is similar to the one established in Morrisville. Aid Flow The establishment of the new ratio at Morrisville wav done to achieve the maximum compa- tability with the light in Trenton, he said. The operational order emphasized that the officer on duty operating the lights manually will use his best judgement and Johnson said the judgment must be motivated by the understanding he is attempting to serve the by promoting maximum traffic flow in the safest and most expeditious manner.

Johnson further noted that the traffic light at the intersection of N. Pennsylvania and Trenton in Morrisville is on a thirty-second ratio for each direction. It was the light at N. Pennsylvania and Trenton Aves. that caused traffic delays during the trial period.

Because of the difference in timing ratios, bridge traffic, which was flowing off the bridge more quickly, was being tied up at the slower ratio light West of the bridge. Johnson said the entire matter of the traffic light timing will be restudied when Walter W. Gardiner, Trenton City traffic engineer, returns from vacation. Until that time there will be no further changes in operations order. Will Review He noted that Gardiner will follow up the matter of the traffic lights on a technical basis, with the various agencies and municipalities involved.

Johnson also noted that the bridge police will be to take over manual control of the light during non-peak hours in the event of an emergency, or to permit ambulances or other emergency equipment to cross the bridge. He also said in the event of stalled automobiles, bridge officers can take over manual control of the lights. Cars Stall In his report, Johnson noted that the incline of River Road and coupled with the summer atmospheric conditions apparently cause a great number of cars to stall. He said the topography of the bridge approach often prevents the officer from noting such incidents. Therefore, the report states, the bridge officers are directed to maintain an increased vigilance and to assist distressed motorists, while still maintaining the best possible traffic flow at the intersection.

Firemen, Police Kept Busy Storm Hits Yardley Causes Wide Damage By ED GLOWKA Courier-Times Staff Writer Seven minor fires were set by lightning last night in Yardley and Lower Makefield Township, police and fire officials reported today.

William Brooke had just finished investigating an accident on the E. College Ave. bridge over the canal and when he returned to duty he found the fire in the motor.

Because the fire company was still on other fires, he tackled the blaze with a hand extinguisher. A neighboring shopkeeper closed the switch to the electric current and the fire was out. In the meantime two other firemen came from headquarters with a chemical powder to use on the fire. There was no serious damage, Brooke said. Hits Pole Ptl.

Brooke reported that during the storm a woman motorist tried to make a turn on Main at the fire house but collided into a utility pole. Because of the fire in the bakery, Brooke took the woman to a neighboring home to rest. He said she did not appear hurt, only shaken. He then pushed her car out of the way until he could return. When he returned from fighting the bakery fire, the woman, who had apparently recovered her composure, had gotten back into her car and drove away.

Brooke said there was no damage to the utility pole. Two Collide Brooke said two cars driven by women motorists collided on the narrow E. College bridge during the storm. He said the cars were operated by Mrs. Marion E.
