When this matter was first taken I'D
at meeting of the committee last
week, the members seemed unable to
agree on the provis.9as OF the ordi-
nance. and adjournc.i IL meet today
when 1t was hoped they could have
reached a determination Tn some OF
the contested points at issue.
The new document. compiled by
the subcommittee after thorough
study of the trafiic situation In this
city. and after calling to account alt
the leading traffic authorities avail
able. consists of some thirty-fopr pro-
visions. and including some radical
departures from the presen. system of
traffic regulations in Richmond At
its last meeting the committee reach
