minds of the Commissioners. contains

The Commissioners yesterday addressed
a letter to the Hon. John Hay, Secretary

laJion of the speed of automobiles in the
cities of foreign countries where they are
in more common use than in the city OF
Washington. The Commissioners inform
Mr.. Hay that they have under considera-
ton the matter of regulating the opera
ton of automobiles and other horseless
vehicles upon the streets Of Washington.
with a view to lessening the liability Of
the public to injury therefrom IL is also
stated as the purpose of the Commits
siOrers to establish such regulations as
shall aid the police in identifying offend
ers who may speed their vehicles con-
trary to law.
The Commissioners tflini that a kuowl-
edge of the regulations in force in Euro
pean cities would aid them materially in
coming TO right conclusions in the matter,
and they ask the Secretary of State to as
sist them in securing the desired informa-
ton.
