WANTS TRAFFIC SQUAD OF 1000.

Mckay for Increase Of so Men.

Frederic II. Coudert wrote to Police
Commissioner Mckay yesterday thanking
him on behalf of tho National Highways
Protective Society for detailing fifty adj
ditional men to the traffic squad. Mr..
Coud,rt says that the society wants to
discuss with Mayor Mitchell and the Police
Commissioner increasing the squad to
1000 men.
Undoubtedly this addition TO the
squad will save many lives in our city,"
wrote Mr.. Coudert. THE loss of life In
our streets has become OF so appalling a
nature that It must be Of prime i'm
portance TO tho community TO take meas

I'VE have felt for some time. and the
statistics Indicate IL, that In those parts
OF the city where the traffic men are not
available tho danger Is enhanced and
that by an increase In the traffic squad
hundreds Of persons could be saved from
manning and possible death.
I'VE shall shortly wish TO take up with
the Mayor and yourself the question OF
modification In the law and regulations
which will enable the squad to be In
creased to the number OF 1000 men-
which would not only have the effect OF
adequately protecting tho mass of pedes-
