Concluding its three-day meeting here rday after hearing an address by P. Lamont, Secretary of Com- merce, who presided as chairman, the conference adjourned and left com- mittees to continue research work in various fields of traffic development. In his closing address Secretary La- mont emphasized that the relief of traffic ills is a matter of State and municipal action. “I think the deliberations of the con- ference are a convincing guaranty that the States and municipalities will have the earnest support of the organiza- tlons and associations which have been Tepresented here,” he said. Code Omits Night Driving. The subject of night driving was Rot treated definitely in the uniform wehicle code and the model municipal ordinance which the conference adopted J. H. Hunt of Detroit urged the con- | ference to set a 35-mile-an-hour speed limit for night driving on clear nights and 30 miles an hour on cloudy nights. | Another clement in the conference contended that the glare of headlights was responsible for most of the night sccidents and urged that headlights be inspected regularly and made to conform to proper illumination and Dr, Miller McClintock of Harvard University, who is conducting & study of g _possibilities in Washington as consultant to the National Park snd Planning Commission, said he ‘would support a proposal to study the entire subject with a view to determin- ing the feasibility of recommending that roads and highways be illuminated at night as streets in cities are il- luminated.
