CAN'T RULE TRAFFIC.
Street Regulation Ont Of L. ..
Boards Pro1ince, Says Mr. Walcor.

,-h.f,,a, yyil,cox of the public Service Commits
sion, after going over the proposed amendments ~
| the traffic regulation ordinances drawn up oy
| snecial committee Of merchants and others to
facilitate the movement of surface cars mace IL
clear yesterday that while he personally favored
such regulations. was not in the power Oh 'he
| commission TO direct any such rules.
..Tbere is a vast number of things that the Public
Service Commission cannot do" said Chairman
Wilcox the committee one OF these thihss Is
| The enactment of ordinances regulating street
traffic or anything else. Personally do not hesi-
tate to say l convinced that great oeal oi
DELAY to surface is directly due to the inter-
ference by other vehicles without legitimate excuse
Considering the great number OF persons ihcoh-
,,anienced hy such delay, l believe ii would be
proper to impose such system OF regulation OF
vehicuar traffic would reduce the interference
to the minimum. The number OF men on such
vehicles who would be inconven1enced Is small IN
deed compared with the number Of passengers In
the cars.
IF the proposed amendments to the traffic ordi-
rances as outlined by you here are introduced IN
the Board of Aldermen shall be glad to express
NV approval The commission may place ltseH on
record as body Further than that we cannot GO
