At its regular monthly meeting last night in the auditorium of the Thomron School, 12th and 1. streets, the Mid City Citize Association adopted resolutions approving a $500 fine for motorists who flee from the scene of a collision The resolution also would prohibit motorists charged with any infrac-| tion of the traflic laws from for- feitinz collateral and would compel all violutors of the traffic laws appear in court. no matter trivial the offense. Gilbert L. Hall. one of the dele- gates of the association to the Fed- eration of Citizeus' Associations, in- troduced the resolution, and in doing 80 declared that the civic and com- munity bodies of the Capital should do everything within their power to check reckless driving in the city and to assist in relieving the traffic uroblem. The resolution did not meet with the unanimous approval of the members present, and it was only after considerable debate that it #as adopted. Breaking of Windows. .

The report males no specific recommen- dations as to traffic control in any city, its recommendations being gen- eral and capable of application in any municipality. Reckless Driving Scored. Other important recommendations of the committee are: That regulation of speed of ve- hicles should be directed primarily at reckless driving, making it unlawful to operate a vehicle at & speed great- er than Is reasonable and proper, hav- ing regarq for the traffic and use of the highway, or so as to endanger the life, limb or property of any person. Parking should not be permlitted where it will endanger or serlously impede moving tratflic, or prevent rea- sonable access to the sidewalk for loading or unloading of vehicles. In business districts of cities it may be- come necessary by some means to provide ample parking space entirely off the street. Uniformity and simplicity of hand signals is desired. A single caution- ary signal, made by extending the arm well outside the vehicle, as a warning that the operator is about to turn, slow down, stop or back, is recommended as preferable to a code which attempts to show exactly what the operator intends to do. Courtesy Is Emphasized. Pedestrians and motorists should bear a considerate attitude toward each other. In cities pedestrians should be instructed, urged and re- quired to keep within the boundaries zones cross- ing places, and when there conge: tion to cross only with the traffic. Motorists should be required to accord pedestrians safe and dignified use of such safety zones and crossing place: 1 kles: driving and any other flagrant disregard of the rights of others by any user of the streets or highways should be vigorously and singly prosecuted. There should tion providing adequate for infractions of the trafiic including mandatory revo. tion of licenses for a specified length of time for cumulative evidence of carelessness or irresponsibility, for operating a motor vehi hile under the influence of intoxicating liquor or drugs, or for other serious offenses - motor vehicle law, and vere penalties for driving after re- vocation: there should be a sufficient number of organized traffic officers to detect and prosecute such Infractions, nd there should be co-operation be- tween states for the enforcement of the laws in each state, Too Many Rules Unwise. The committee found that most of the truffic law 1) regulations everywhere are ated frequently, ahd that almost every operator of a motor vehicle, however good a citi- zen he may be, violates some traflic law or regulation occasionally: “Be- cuuse s0 many of these laws are practically unenforceable and o many of them unreasonable,” the re- port_declared, “an unwholesome con- tempt for the law and an inclination to substitute individual judgment for the prescribed rules has grown up throughout the country. This con: tempt has been enhanced by the great 1fck of uniformity in different localities. The committee Bave serious thought to the question of speed lim- its, the majority of its membership believing that the law should be di- rected solely against reckless driving. The report declared that “it is impos- sible to fix any safe limit and that he attempt 1o do o, with the result- |ant constant viclation of and contempt for the law,.is one of the chief causes of motor accidents. that cities, villages and other politi- cal subdivisions should be empowered, however, to establish speed limits within their boundaries in harmony with the State Jaw. A limit of 35 miles an hour would be placed on the open highway. One of the most serfous sources of danger on the highwoy, according to the report, is the motorist who un- dertakes to pass another vehicle go- ing in the same direction regardless of whether he has a clear view ahead, taking it for granted that the way ill open up for him to get back into line if he suddenly meets a car com- ing from the opposite direction.

Signals Are Problem. Efforts to standardize hand signals have thus far been unsuccessful, the report says. One difficulty has been the attempt to indicate too much. Whether position of the arm, number of fingers extended or motion of the arm or hand is depended upon for the various indications, all are open to the objection that they are diffi- cult to distingulsh unless made mo; accurately and crisply than the ave- rage motorist will make them. Turning to law administration, the report points out that “unfortunately a certaln percentage of motorists, | evidently inspired more by fear than by humane instincts, carefully obey the law while in the presence of officers, but cast aside restraint when out of sight”” The recommendation is made that public spirited citizens should co-operate with the public authorities to eliminate from the highways the violator of the gold- en_rule. Concluding its findings, the commit- tee declared that licensing of opera- tors is not a panacea for the dangers of the road. “Examinatlons properly conducted will keep the sheerly incémpetent drivers off the road, but will not reach those probably —much more dangerous persons, the competent drivers who take chances and will- fully disregard the safety of others. Licensing, however, affords a ready means of keeping the record of every operator, and revocations based on these records will reach the danger- ous drivers, whether dangerous through incompetence, indifference or recklessness.” SUES FOR MAINTENANCE.
