Sail Francisco, Mar. 2. A'l
previous customs. laws and ordi
nance* specifying who huR I ho
right of way on this eily's streets
have been superseded by superior
court ruling that the municipal
thoroughfares belong to the kid
dles when i he youngsters wi'-lt to
play on them.
Superior Judue Johnson. the
children's friend, made ibe deci
sion in a lent cane brought to de
termine whether the city's board
of supervisors have the antborlty
to order certain streets near
schools roped off at certain hour*
lo be lined as playground**. The
hum was broufthi by a motorist
who claimed he needed the road
way and bad the right to use It In
going to and from his home. The
court upheld ibe supervisors'
light.
On the result of the suit de
pended the continuance of a num
ber of elementary schools In the
city using roped-off streets us
playgrounds. Sail Francisco Is uot
ed for Its many public parks and
playgrounds, bht the hay and the
wean limit the size of the city and
many schools liavu been crowded
into such small spuce that there is!
110 outdoor, play space. Mocking i
of streets during recess periods'
has solved the problem.
In making his ruling. Judge
Johnson left no doubt as to who
owns the street*. The supcrvls- 1
ors" he said, "are !u reality add-,
lug nothing to the privileges
which, as youthful citizens, the
children already possess. Hopes,

Camden was oilglnally a part j

cume a separate entity In 1
when an act creating ihe County ,
was passed by the General Asia#* ?
