TRADE BOARD WILL.
FIGHT TRAFFIC. Law
Body Plans to Garry Contest to
New Commissioners to Be
Named byWiIson.

Unable to convince the present Com.
missioners that the recently promul-
gated traffic regulations are not cor
rect. the street traffic committee is de-
terminsd to make another attempt un-
der the Commissioners that are to be
appointed by President Wilson.
The COMMITTEES met recently IN execu-
tive session and heard q report from
william p Emo. who drew the traffic
rules for New York and London. and
who condemns the present Washington
regulations az cumbersome and. in
many instances, unfair.
The recommendation of the Board of
Trade committee. prepared by Mr.. Emo.
VIII not be made public until the ap-
but II is known they are much shorter
than the present regulations, and 1t is
understood they are more liberal to
autcmoh1if1ts.
It il further understood that the Emo
Recommendation are less definite. and
are more properly common law rules OF
the road than dshnite regulations ap-
plying to specia, cases such as arc now
In force.
The traffic committee Of the trade
board has chafed because Of the slight
aileged to have been committed against
that ofganiyation. by the Commissioners.
The Commissioners worked out the
regulations and declared them IN effect
without consulting the Board Of Trade
committee, and that committee under.
stood that its adyiee would be asked
finally on the laws. The committee
has found much fault with the regala-
tionS and VIII make every effort TO
have them amended.

This follows on a previous order which

insist on drinking water. from the

Washington folks have found Potomac
water wholesome, but II has never be-
fore been esteemed quite the thing for
a Senator.
Furthermore, the free barber shop Is
threatened with abolishment. The pay
of the old soldiers who sit at the doors
of the Senate has been sut in two and
there are other assaults on cXtrava-
gance. Almost any day. powerful
