a member of the executive committee of

questing the commissioners to ascertain
whether they have authority. and are dis
posed to assume authority, to make and
enforce a police regulation in the village
of Chevy Chase somewhat similar to the
one recently adopted in the District of
Columbia requiring motor vehicles not to
pass points where street cars are taking
on or letting off passengers.
aside from speed violation declared
Mr. Hodges in his letter, this seems to
be our greatest danger. One of our citi-
Zens was recently killed under such cir
Gums ,ances. The fatal accident was en-
tirely avoidable and the responsibility
should certainly be placed somewhere for
the prevention of recurrence of such an
accident which is bound to come sooner
or later if such a regulation as suggested
is not adopted and enforced
The commissioners submitted the cues
ton to their attorney. John A. Garrett
for an opinion, who found that the Mary
land law gives the commissioners author
ity to adopt and enforce any reasonable
regulation relating to the use of the pub
lie roads of the county by motor vehicles
The commissioners will take the matter
up for consderat ton within the near flu
tlire probably at their meeting next Tues
day.
