STANDARD CONTROL OF TRAFFIC URGED American Engineering Council[D THE Committee Makes 83 H GREAT Recommendations. By the Associated Press. PITTSBURGH, October 19.—Stand- ard traffic control in American cities | was fecommended today at the meeting | of the administrative board of the! | American Engineering Council. Eighty- | three recommendations for attaining a | | standard system were contained in a report of the committee on street traf- fic_signs, signals and markings. The committee, headed by W. B.| Powell of Buffalo, N. Y., announced | | survey ‘conducted in 35 States and | more than 100 cities having a total | population of more than 33,000,000. The report said that cities were en- dangering traffic control by employing wrong practices, adding that{“It i | clearly obvious that some cities are making two fundamental errors in in- stalling street traffic sign: kings.” One error ted, the report stated, 1s the placing | of traffic control devices without ade- quate study of conditions which their use is intended to improve, or of the evil - effects produced at some inter- sections resulting from the attempt to correct undesirable conditions at one particular intersection. Employing traf- fic-cantrol devices at places and times not justified by the conditions was pointed out as tr nd e BUTTER SAUCE is a deliciousdressing, made with 3 parts hot melted butter, 1 part LEA & PERRINS’ SAUCE i Coffee Supreme | Expedition, “We had to have the best.” fime 45€ | Alr-Tlgh( Tin DIAMONDS X)oa"yin -%rr .
