Suppose at important road intersections, ferries and places of congestion there were signs on which messages could be quickly lettered by some automatic de- vice. A message would be dropped or radioed from the air and a sign would go up at the Tarrytown ferry over the Hudson, something like this, ‘All ferries and approaches badly congested: better take detour through Englewood and go through tunnel’ Or instead, the mes- sages could be spoken through a loud speaker. The mechanics of such a scheme would be easy enough to man- age. “Our experiment has convinced us that the bird’s-eye view of a long stretch of country is invaluable t, the police, and I believe this plan will do a lot to expedite and safeguard Sunday and holiday traffic.” (Copyright. 1928.)
